China National Energy Administration has officially announced the construction of the largest offshore wind power project in the country. The project, named Huaneng Dongtai 500 MW Offshore Wind Power Station, is set to begin its construction phase on May 29, 2025, after receiving the necessary PAC (Project Acceptance Certificate) from the developer.
Located near Dongtai City in Jiangsu Province, this project will cover an area of approximately 10 square kilometers and will feature 56 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 10 MW. The total output capacity of the station is expected to reach 100,000 kilowatts, and it will consist of a single substation connected to the grid.
Once operational, the facility is projected to provide electricity to around 25.6 million households annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions by approximately 760,000 tons per year. This aligns with China’s “2030 Vision” for green energy development.
In the context of offshore energy resources, this project will also support China’s strategy to enhance its renewable energy supply. The National Energy Administration aims to strengthen its capabilities in offshore wind energy, further promoting the transition to renewable sources and contributing to the “China Power” initiative.
According to the National Energy Administration, this wind farm is essential for establishing a competitive market for offshore wind energy in China. Looking ahead, there will be deeper collaborations with various energy sectors, including wind, solar, and hydrogen energy sources, to ensure sustainable development.
As the project progresses, it will promote the use of advanced technologies and processes, thereby fostering a greener energy landscape in line with China’s environmental goals.
