On November 28, 2021, the CECEP’s No. 55 wind turbine on Nanpeng Island of Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, began operating, marking that the company’s 300MW offshore wind power project on Nanpeng Island has been fully connected to the grid.
Since the first group of wind turbines was connected to the grid, a total of 180 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity has been generated. After all of the turbines are put into operation, the project’s annual power generation capacity is expected to reach 800 million kilowatt-hours, saving about 249,800 tons of standard coal consumption and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 454,000 tons.

The wind farm is located in one of the most complicated sea areas in China. During construction, the project team overcame a series of difficulties, including natural environmental risks such as typhoons, monsoons, thunderstorms, swells, etc. While the time for construction was short, the seabed topography and geological conditions of the project area were complicated, and the water depth varied widely. By optimizing construction organization and engineering, the construction team realized the first winter installation of wind turbines in the area, finding out the technical possibilities for winter construction in the South China Sea.
