China to Get New Offshore Wind Farm

China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding (CGNPC) has revealed a plan to build an offshore wind farm off Dalian Island in Pingtan county, Fujian province, next year. The company will invest USD 731.25 million (4.5 billion yuan) in the project, according to Pingtan Times.

The company’s vice-general manager Tang Jiansheng has visited Pingtan to discuss the project details with local authorities.

“The plan for the offshore wind farm project on Dalian Island, after being approved (by the Pingtan government and CGNPC management), will be handed to the National Development and Reform Commission for review,” Pingtan Times quotes Mr. Jiansheng as saying.

The construction is scheduled to start next year, after CGNPC undertakes feasibility studies for the offshore wind project.
