Dafeng 1

Location

The Jiangsu Dafeng Offshore Wind Power Project is located in the Yellow Sea, off the coast of Jiangsu Province, China.

Developers and Owners

The project was developed and is co-owned by China Three Gorges New Energy and Goldwind Science & Technology Co Ltd, each holding a 50% ownership stake.

Capacity and Production

The project has a total installed capacity of 300.75 MW, although it is part of a larger development. Specifically, the project generates 797,000 MWh of electricity annually, which is enough to power approximately 500,000 households.

Phases and Turbines

The project has been developed in multiple phases. Here are the details for the relevant phases:

• Phase I: Equipped with 19 Goldwind Science & Technology turbines, each with a 6.45 MW nameplate capacity.
• Phase II: Equipped with 54 Goldwind Science & Technology turbines, each with a 3.3 MW nameplate capacity.

Foundations

The wind turbines in both phases are installed on fixed foundations, specifically using monopile foundations.

Environmental Impact

The project offsets approximately 527,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, contributing significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Commissioning

The project was commissioned in October 2019 and is currently active.

Contractors and Suppliers

• Turbines: Provided by Goldwind Science & Technology Co Ltd.
• Other Components: Companies like Jiangsu Haili Wind Power Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. could be involved in supplying components such as towers, monopiles, and other offshore wind turbine equipment, although this is not explicitly stated for this specific project.

Significance

The Jiangsu Dafeng Offshore Wind Power Project is one of the significant offshore wind farms in China, contributing to the country's goals of increasing the share of non-fossil fuels in its primary energy mix. It plays a positive role in promoting the development of offshore wind power and the localization of key technologies.

Additional Context

China Huadian Engineering Co., Ltd. (HHI) has also been involved in various offshore wind farm projects along the Chinese coastline, including projects in the same region, though their specific involvement in the Dafeng 300MW project is not detailed here.
