“In Taiwan, the commissioning of the offshore wind farms Greater Changhua 2b and 4 remains on track towards the third quarter of 2026.”

Ørsted 6 May 2026 Ørsted delivers progress and strong operational performance (Ørsted)

Commissioning of Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan remains on track for the third quarter of 2026.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

What would count as true or false

True if both Greater Changhua 2b and Greater Changhua 4 reached commissioning (full commercial operation / commissioning as defined by Ørsted, verified by a dated company or third-party report of actual completion, not merely a statement of being on track) between 2026-07-01 and 2026-09-30. Mostly false if only one was commissioned by 2026-09-30, or if both were commissioned only after Q3 2026. False if, per a dated report after 2026-09-30 (e.g. Q3 2026 interim report), neither was commissioned by end of Q3 2026 or commissioning was delayed/postponed. Commissioning earlier than Q3 2026 counts as true.

Evidence

  1. Ørsted completes construction of 920 MW offshore wind parks in Taiwan Enerdata · 2 September 2026
    “The company expects Greater Changhua 2b (337 MW) and 4 (583 MW) to achieve full commercial operation in late September 2026, subject to the completion of the remaining commissioning activities and fulfilment of customary contractual and regulatory requirements.”
  2. Three Ørsted Offshore Wind Farms Set for Full Commissioning in 2026 offshoreWIND.biz · 20 August 2026
    “In Taiwan, Greater Changhua 2b and 4 is approximately 85 per cent complete and remains on track for full commissioning in the third quarter of this year.”
  3. Greater Changhua 4 Turbine Taken Offline After Fire, Ørsted Says offshoreWIND.biz · 24 August 2026
    “The affected turbine was taken out of service and disconnected from the transmission system as part of the safety measures implemented following the incident.”
  4. Ørsted completes construction of 920 MW offshore wind parks in Taiwan Enerdata · 2 September 2026
    “Ørsted has completed construction of the 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind parks in Taiwan, with the project now moving into its final commissioning phase (Ørsted press release, 01/09/2026).”

Reasoning

By 1 September 2026, construction of Greater Changhua 2b and 4 was reported complete and the projects had entered final commissioning (E4). Full commercial operation was still only expected in late September 2026, subject to remaining activities and regulatory requirements (E1). Earlier reporting described the projects as on track for Q3 (E2), and a turbine fire at Greater Changhua 4 posed a possible risk without any stated delay (E3). None of the evidence confirms actual commissioning of either project by 2026-09-30, and none reports a delay, so the criteria cannot be resolved.
