3. The Guangxi offshore wind power plan was officially approved by the National Energy Administration

A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission that after more than two years of hard work, the Guangxi offshore wind power plan was officially approved by the National Energy Administration on November 1, marking the region’s offshore wind power from the planning stage to the construction and implementation stage.

It is reported that the National Energy Administration approved the planned installed capacity of offshore wind power in the entire region in advance of 7.5 million kilowatts, of which all four sites in the autonomous region’s jurisdiction have a total of 1.8 million kilowatts. It is required to strive for completion and grid connection by 2025; select 570 for the best choice outside the autonomous region’s jurisdiction. 10,000 kilowatts to carry out the preliminary work, and it is required to strive to build and connect more than 1.2 million kilowatts to the grid by the end of 2025.

Guangxi has clearly taken offshore wind power as the key direction of energy and industrial development in the "14th Five-Year Plan", and plans to have 25 offshore wind farm sites with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts. Among them, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we will strive to approve offshore wind power of more than 8 million kilowatts and put 3 million kilowatts into production.

4. Zhejiang's largest offshore wind power project has been approved, and all 32 wind turbines have been installed.

On November 14, the installation of 32 wind turbines for the Zheneng Shengsi No. 2 offshore wind farm project was completed, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of grid-connected power generation by the end of the year. This is also another masterpiece of the China Railway Bridge Bureau in the Yangtze River Delta wind power project after the installation of the Jiaxing No. 2 wind turbine.

Shengsi No. 2 offshore wind farm project is located in the Wangpanyang sea area on the southwest side of the rugged islands, inside Hangzhou Bay, with a maximum water depth of more than 14 meters and a sea area of 62.4 square kilometers. It is planned to build 67 6.25 MW wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 400 MW. . The construction part of China Railway Bridge Bureau includes the foundation construction of 32 wind turbines, the installation of wind turbines and the permanent navigation mark configuration of the entire wind farm.

This project is currently the largest offshore wind power project approved in Zhejiang Province. After the completion of the project, the annual on-grid power will exceed 1.04 billion kWh. Compared with coal-fired power units of the same scale, it can save about 336,000 tons of standard coal and reduce the emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by 688,000 tons. Industrial upgrading is of great significance to help achieve the national "dual carbon" goal.

6. The first two H171-5MW units of Jiangsu Rudong H8 project were successfully connected to the grid and put into operation

On November 12, the first batch of two H171-5MW normal temperature units manufactured by China Haizhuang in the Jiangsu Rudong H8 project of China General Nuclear Power Corporation were successfully connected to the grid and put into operation.

The wind farm is located in the Huangsha Ocean area to the east of the offshore wind power planning area in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province. The distance from the center of the site is about 65km from the shore, and the seabed elevation is between -12 and -21m. This wind farm has 6-8 hours one-way sailing for ships, and it is one of the offshore wind farms currently under construction in China with the farthest distance from the shore. The planned total installed capacity of the project is 300MW, of which 200MW is 40 sets of H171-5MW wind turbines "made by sea", using the latest flexible and straight transmission technology.
