Fujian Fuqing Haitan Strait - MingYang Turbines

Profile: Fujian Fuqing Haitan Strait Offshore Wind Farm

Location

The Fujian Fuqing Haitan Strait Offshore Wind Farm is located in the Haitan Strait, Fujian Province, China.

Development and Ownership

• The project was developed by Huadian (Fujian) Wind Power.
• It is currently owned by Huadian Fuxin Energy with a 100% stake.

Development Status

• Construction of the project commenced in 2019.
• The wind farm entered into commercial operation in November 2021 and is currently active.

Capacity and Energy Production

• The wind farm has a total installed capacity of 302.8 MW.
• It generates approximately 1,058,000 MWh of electricity annually, which is sufficient to power around 50,000 households.

Environmental Impact

• The project offsets about 939,100 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year.

Turbines and Foundations

The wind farm is developed in two phases:

Phase I - Area A

• Equipped with 22 Ming Yang Wind Power Group MySE7.0-158 turbines.
• Each turbine has a nameplate capacity of 7 MW and a rotor diameter of 158 meters.
• The turbines are installed on fixed foundations using monopile foundations.

Phase II - Area B

• Equipped with 24 China Shipbuilding Group Haizhuang Wind Power H171-6.2MW turbines.
• Each turbine has a nameplate capacity of 6.2 MW.
• These turbines are also installed on fixed foundations using monopile foundations.

Tower Specifications

• Both phases feature wind turbines with tower heights of 90 meters.

Contractors and Equipment

• The turbines for Phase I were supplied by Ming Yang Wind Power Group.
• The turbines for Phase II were supplied by China Shipbuilding Group Haizhuang Wind Power.

Additional Context

While the Fujian Fuqing Haitan Strait Offshore Wind Farm does not currently utilize MingYang's latest turbine models, MingYang Smart Energy has been advancing in turbine technology. For example, they have recently installed a 20-MW turbine (MySE18.X-20MW) in Hainan, China, which is the largest single-capacity offshore wind turbine to date. This development indicates the potential for future upgrades or new projects with higher capacity turbines.
