Copenhagen Offshore Partners

Throughout March we've been highlighting the inspiring contributions of our team members and their transformative journeys within COP. Today, we're excited to feature another remarkable colleague. Celeste Frayna is helping us pioneer offshore wind in the Philippines. Her role has provided her with valuable hands-on experience in offshore wind development, enabling collaboration with industry experts to foster her professional growth. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #WomenInWind #OffshoreWind #LifeatCOP #COPeople #AccelerateAction 

We are thrilled to announce Fengmiao I has reached financial close and Mark Wainwright will become CEO of the project.  With a planned capacity of 495 MW, Fengmiao I is poised to advance Taiwan’s ambitious renewable energy goals. After the Changfang & Xidao and Zhong Neng projects, Fengmiao I will be COP and CIP’s third project to enter construction in Taiwan. "Reaching project financing for Fengmiao I is a tremendous achievement for our team and a testament to the commitment of our partners,” said Joris Hol, who has served as Fengmiao I CEO through financial close. “It has been an honour to lead this project to financial close and I know the team will be successful to deliver the project safely and in close collaboration with our important stakeholders in Taiwan.”   “As we embark on the construction phase, we do so proudly in the knowledge that we are accelerating Taiwan's energy transition, advancing toward its goal to install 15 GW of additional offshore wind capacity between 2026 and 2035, and revitalising the communities in which we operate," shares Mark Wainwright.   "Offshore wind is facing headwinds in several markets and therefore reaching financial close for Fengmiao I demonstrates our commitment to delivering offshore wind even in uncertain times,” added Jesper Krarup Holst, Partner and Head of APAC at COP. “Our collaboration with CIP and the supportive landscape in Taiwan – in both the legislature and in the Taiwanese community – reinforce our belief in the massive potential for offshore wind development in the region, and we look forward to delivering this project on time and on budget."   In December 2022, Fengmiao I secured site exclusivity and 500MW grid capacity in Taiwan’s Round 3.1 auction and is the first of Taiwan’s Round 3 projects to reach financial close and the first to start construction.

We’re proud to be accelerating the energy transition, unlocking offshore wind, and creating value alongside Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), who have announced the close of their fifth flagship fund, CI V, surpassing its target size of EUR 12 billion. CI V is estimated to add 30 GW of new energy capacity to the global grid, which is enough to power more than 10 million average households. CIP is the world’s largest dedicated fund manager within greenfield renewable energy investments. COP is the exclusive offshore wind development partner to CIP and together we are advancing a 50 GW portfolio of offshore wind projects around the world.

When you dare to be in the moment and use yourself as an instrument for a shared purpose, you amplify your presence and can build greater empathy, connection, and impact to other humans.   This is why last week we held a very special workshop with women at COP in our Copenhagen office, designed to empower our colleagues to tap into and bring their authentic selves to work each day. By showing up as ourselves, we believe we can better show up for each other and the communities where we operate, ultimately to achieve our vision to unlock the full potential of offshore wind to power the world.   Thank you to Ilia Swainson for leading this very special workshop and to all of our colleagues who participated! #LifeatCOP #COPeople #OffshoreWind #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay #AccelerateAction #WomeninWind

Happy International Women’s Day to the amazing women on our team and across the renewable energy industry!  This month, we’ll be spotlighting a few of the many women at COP who are not only helping us unlock the full potential of offshore wind to power the world, but who show up every day as themselves to go further in our project development work and who help us grow together as a courageous and respectful team. First up, meet Jiwon Min, a bid manager in Korea, who joined us two years ago following an early career in the coal and gas industry.  Learn more about JiWon’s transformative, hands-on experience that is helping us accelerate the global energy transition. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #WomenInWind #OffshoreWind #LifeatCOP #COPeople #AccelerateAction
