The Shidao Municipal Government has announced plans to establish the country’s first offshore fixed foundation wind power project. This project aims to significantly increase the capacity for offshore wind energy generation.
Date: May 28, 2025
According to reports from a local news outlet, on May 27, the Shidao Municipal Government confirmed the implementation of the offshore wind power project, which is set to include 400 wind turbines. The project will commence operations within the Shidao Electric Network, enhancing the overall energy supply capacity of the region.
This initiative is expected to bolster the energy capabilities of the coastal areas, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy sources. The project, located in the southern part of Shidao City, aims to generate approximately 6.94 billion kWh of electricity annually, which can supply power to around 40,000 households for a year. This output is equivalent to offsetting approximately 53.58 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
The wind farm will be situated offshore in an area that has been assessed for its potential to support large-scale energy generation. The total planned capacity for the project is 40 megawatts, covering a sea area of 512.7 square kilometers. It is projected to contribute significantly to the region’s green energy supply and is considered a key project in the local government’s efforts to promote renewable energy.
To ensure the project is completed on time, the government is taking steps to streamline processes and enhance coordination among various stakeholders. This includes providing training programs for personnel involved in the construction and operation of the wind farm.
In summary, the establishment of this offshore wind power project represents a significant advancement in Shidao’s commitment to renewable energy and will play a crucial role in the region’s energy transition.
