| World's largest off-shore wind power station to be built in Jiangsu |
Construction of the world's largest off-shore wind power station will begin in the coastal waters of Dongtai, Jiangsu province. With a coastline of 85 kilometers, Dongtai has many mud flats, intertidal zones and sandy underwater beaches which need to be exploited.
A 4 MkW ultra-large wind power station will be built in coastal waters. It is estimated that the total installed capacity of the wind power station will reach 1 MkW by 2016, with annual power generation standing at 2 billion kWh. It is also estimated that 2.26 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced annually. Covering an area of 150 square kilometers, the third phase project of the world's largest wind power project equipped with 84 3.6 MW off-shore wind power generators is located to the south of Dongsha Island. |
