China's first large offshore wind project, at Shanghai's East China Sea
bridge, officially started operations Tuesday, the Shanghai municipal
government said.
The project, has an installed annual generating capacity of 102 megawatts from
34 wind turbines with 3 MW of capacity each, and will be further expanded by
another 100 MW during a second phase, the government said on its website
Wednesday.
Shanghai
aims to bring its offshore
wind power capacity to 1.1 gigawatts after building another four offshore wind
power plants, it said, without elaborating on timelines.
Planned projects include a 100-MW project in Fengxian district and 400 MW in
Pudong district, for which preliminary work has started. Another 300-MW plant
in Fengxian and a 200-MW plant on Hengsha island in the planning stages, it
said.
China, the world's second-largest market after the U.S. in terms of installed
wind capacity, aims to raise capacity to at least 70 GW by 2020 from 25 GW as
of end-2009 as part of its efforts to meet a target to have non-fossil fuels
account for 15% of its energy production mix by the end of next decade.
The country also aims to build a wind-energy equivalent of the Three Gorges Dam
off the coast of eastern
China
with
a generating capacity of at least 10 gigawatts, so as to meet robust power
demand from the
Yangtze river
delta manufacturing hub in
the region.
