Data released by the relevant departments of Guangdong Province and the Guangdong Power Grid Company of the Southern Power Grid show that, with the successful commissioning of offshore wind power projects such as Huizhou Harbor II and Yangjiang Qingzhou I and II by the end of 2023, the total installed capacity of offshore wind power in Guangdong exceeded the 10 million kilowatts mark. 10 million kilowatts of installed capacity of offshore wind power generates about 30 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which, compared with the equivalent capacity of a coal-fired power plant, can save about 8.7 million tons of standard coal equivalently. Compared with a coal-fired power plant of the same capacity, it can save about 8.7 million tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 23.14 million tons.

　　Guangdong is rich in marine resources, has China's longest continental coastline, the second largest sea area in the country, is accelerating the generation of "blue power". In recent years, Guangdong's installed capacity of offshore wind power from less than 10,000 kilowatts to exceed 10 million kilowatts mark, the largest single capacity has jumped from 3 megawatts to 14 megawatts, accelerating the structure of energy production and consumption in Guangdong Province further to the green transition to promote the innovative development of Guangdong Province and even the country's offshore wind power industry to accelerate the realization of the peak of carbon carbon and carbon neutral is of great significance.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Guangdong to increase the construction of offshore wind power, is expected to 2025, Guangdong offshore wind power production scale of 18 million kilowatts.

Advantages of offshore wind power:

Wind energy resources are richer and more stable. Offshore wind speeds are typically about 20% higher than on land, and small increases in wind speed can generate significant amounts of energy.

Offshore wind turbines can also take advantage of strong winds at high altitudes, whereas onshore wind turbines are affected by the terrain, which slows down the wind speed considerably.

Generation of electricity is more efficient and generates more power. Offshore wind turbines can also have a larger stand-alone capacity.

Does not occupy land resources or disturb people. Offshore wind power does not take up valuable land resources, does not affect aesthetics or the ecological environment, and does not generate noise pollution.
