Core Viewpoint - The focus of the offshore wind power industry in China has shifted from merely increasing capacity to ensuring high-quality construction and stable operation, driven by policy support and cost challenges [1][3]. Policy and Industry Development - The Chinese government has increasingly emphasized the development of offshore wind power, with significant mentions in the 2025 government work report and subsequent meetings [1]. - By the end of 2024, China's cumulative offshore wind power capacity is expected to reach 43 GW, accounting for over 50% of the global total of approximately 83.2 GW [1]. - In 2024, China is projected to add over 4 million kW of offshore wind capacity, representing half of the global new installations, maintaining its position as the world leader for seven consecutive years [1]. Project Highlights - The Guohua Peninsula South U2 offshore wind project, located in Shandong, has been recognized as a benchmark for high-quality offshore wind farms, winning multiple awards [3][4]. - The project has a total installed capacity of 603.5 MW and is the largest single offshore wind project in northern China, contributing significantly to local sustainable economic development [6][4]. Technological Reliability - The project utilizes 71 units of the Envision EN-226/8.5 MW offshore wind turbine, which is noted for its reliability and high performance in similar projects [6][10]. - The average availability of the wind turbine units in the project exceeds 99.7%, showcasing exceptional operational efficiency [10]. Strategic Collaboration - The collaboration between Guohua Investment and Envision Energy has resulted in a project that not only meets current energy demands but also sets a precedent for future offshore wind developments [7][18]. - The project has achieved full capacity grid connection and is expected to reduce carbon emissions significantly, with an estimated annual reduction of approximately 1.181 million tons [7][6]. Future Outlook - As offshore wind power development shifts towards deeper waters, the Guohua Peninsula South U2 project is designed to meet future deep-sea standards, ensuring long-term competitiveness [14][16]. - The establishment of a deep-sea wind power industrial park in the region is anticipated to drive significant investment and enhance local manufacturing capabilities [17][18].
