The first batch of turbines at the Qiyuan Sea Wind Farm have been connected to the grid, with an expected annual power generation of 150 million kilowatt-hours.

Today, it was learned from the State Energy Group that the first batch of units of the Longyuan Power Hainan Qiyuan offshore wind power project have officially been connected to the grid for power generation. This marks a new breakthrough in the large-scale operation of offshore wind power units in China. Liu Dan, director of the Longyuan Qiyuan Offshore Wind Farm under the State Energy Group, said that once fully operational, the Qiyuan offshore wind farm is expected to have an annual electricity generation of over 1.5 billion kilowatt-hours, which can meet the electricity needs of approximately 1.2 million households in Hainan. This is equivalent to reducing the consumption of standard coal by about 467,000 tons and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.271 million tons annually, which will strongly support the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port and clean energy island, and provide experience for the subsequent installation of large-capacity wind power units and their large-scale operation in China.
