On January 9th, a fresh set of statistical data was released. With the recent full-capacity commissioning of the Guoxin Dafeng 850 MW offshore wind power project, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, has achieved a grid-connected offshore wind power capacity of 7,203.75 MW, accounting for approximately one-eighth of China’s total and 7% of the global capacity. This makes Yancheng the city with the highest offshore wind power generation in the country. Boasting a 582-kilometer golden coastline and an expansive sea area of 18,900 square kilometers, the region’s average annual wind speed exceeds 7.6 meters per second offshore and over 8 meters per second in far-sea areas. With an annual equivalent full-load operating hours ranging between 3,000 and 3,600 hours, it ranks among the world’s most promising offshore wind power development sites.

Leveraging its unique offshore wind energy resources, Yancheng is harnessing the power of the sea to forge a path toward strength and prosperity. The city has established a complete industrial chain encompassing core components, complete turbine manufacturing, and offshore wind farm development and operation. Currently, Yancheng is home to 47 large-scale wind power equipment manufacturers, with its offshore wind turbine production capacity accounting for over 40% of the national total and its blade production capacity representing 20% of the country’s output.
