Construction officially began recently on the first phase of the Sheyang 1 GW Offshore Wind Power Project, the largest single-unit capacity offshore wind power project in Jiangsu Province. As the first offshore wind power project launched by CHN Energy in Jiangsu during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), the project represents an important step in the Group’s efforts to expand clean energy development in the province and advance green development, marking a new stage of large-scale offshore wind power growth in Jiangsu.

The project is located in the waters southeast of the Sheyang River estuary in Yancheng, east China’s Jiangsu Province, with a total installed capacity of 1 GW. The first phase will have an installed capacity of 297.5 MW and plans to install 35 wind turbines, each with a single-unit capacity of 8.5 MW. During construction, the project will strictly follow green construction principles, balancing ecological protection with project progress to build a safe, efficient, green and low-carbon offshore wind power demonstration project.
Once completed and put into operation, the project is expected to generate an average of 3.1 billion kWh of electricity annually, significantly enhancing Jiangsu’s offshore wind power generation capacity and providing clean and stable energy support for high-quality regional economic and social development. To promote integrated development, the project will also include the construction of Jiangsu’s first semi-submersible integrated offshore platform combining wind power, solar power and fishery operations, named Guoneng Yellow Sea No.1, enabling the integrated utilization of wind energy, photovoltaic power and deep-sea aquaculture to create a three-way win-win model featuring increased aquaculture income, energy transition and ecological protection.
