Deep Dive into Qingzhou IV: Chinese Mainland’s Record-Breaking Offshore Wind Farm 💨🌊
Ever wondered how far we can take wind power? Meet Qingzhou IV, the furthest offshore and deepest water wind farm in the Chinese mainland—sitting 69 km off Yangjiang City in Guangdong Province. 🤩
It generates a whopping 1.83 billion kWh of clean electricity every year, cutting out about 570,000 tonnes of standard coal. That’s like removing thousands of cars from the roads! 🚗💨
Leading the charge is OceanX, the world’s first dual-rotor floating wind platform in a slick V-shape. This innovation can power 30,000 homes annually—showing us that floating wind tech is the real deal. 🏠✨
Brought to life by the Chinese mainland’s Mingyang Smart Energy team (huge props to Kate Zhang for the site insights), Qingzhou IV is proof that deep-sea wind farms are more than just a vision—they’re powering our future. 🔋🌏
