The installation of the first wind turbine at the Huadian Yangjiang Sanshandao VI Offshore Wind Farm Project was successfully completed this morning, signaling the official commencement of full-scale construction. This project holds the distinction of being China’s offshore wind power project located farthest from the shore.

Situated in the coastal waters of Yangjiang, Guangdong, the project boasts a total installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts. The wind farm covers an expansive area of 54 square kilometers, with water depths ranging from 46 to 50 meters. The center of the project site is located 82 kilometers from the mainland, while its outermost point extends 89 kilometers offshore.

As China’s pioneering initiative to deploy 16.2-megawatt offshore wind turbines on a large scale, the project will leverage big data and intelligent algorithms to achieve intelligent operation and maintenance. This approach is expected to enhance power generation efficiency, reduce failure rates, and ultimately boost revenue.
