The 300MW Jiangsu Dafeng Three Gorges offshore wind farm in China has entered the turbine installation phase with the first Goldwind 3.3MW unit put into place at the end of May, Goldwind said.
The 300MW wind farm will feature 43 Goldwind 3.3MW turbines and 17 Goldwind 6.45MW turbines installed offshore Jiangsu Province in the East China Sea.
The project is jointly owned and developed by Goldwind and China Three Gorges.
According to Goldwind, turbine installation teams have to overcome several difficulties at the site, including complex offshore terrain and varying water depths.
Once completed, the project will generate as much as 797 million kWh of electricity per year, providing power to 500,000 households in the coastal regions, Goldwind said.
