As reported by cnr.cn, China's most seaward offshore wind power project—the Three Gorges Jiangsu Dafeng 800 MW Offshore Wind Power Project—has recently attained full-capacity grid connection. This achievement represents a significant leap forward in China's development of offshore wind power in deep and expansive waters. Situated in the marine area northeast of Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, the project encompasses four sites, with the most distant point lying 85.5 kilometers offshore. Currently, it stands as China's offshore wind power project with the greatest grid-connected distance from the shore. The installation comprises a total of 98 wind turbine units, supplemented by the construction of three offshore booster stations and one offshore rescue platform. The project is projected to generate an average annual electricity output exceeding 2.8 billion kilowatt-hours, sufficient to meet the daily electricity demands of 1.4 million households. This output is equivalent to conserving approximately 860,000 tonnes of standard coal and curbing carbon dioxide emissions by roughly 2.37 million tonnes, thereby infusing clean energy into the energy supply and fostering green, low-carbon development within the Yangtze River Delta region.
