Luneng Dongtai

Project Name

• Jiangsu Luneng Dongtai 200MW Concession

Owner

• The project is owned by Shandong Luneng Group (鲁能集团有限公司), which is a subsidiary of the State Grid Corporation of China.

Location

• The wind farm is located offshore in the Yellow Sea, specifically in the Jiangsu province of China.

Capacity and Turbines

• The project has a total nominal power of 200 MW, achieved through the installation of 50 turbines. Each turbine is a Siemens SWT-4.0-130, with a power output of 4,000 kW and a rotor diameter of 130 meters.

Commissioning and Operational Status

• The project commenced construction in 2016 and entered into commercial operation in December 2016. It is currently operational.

Foundation Type

• The wind turbines in this project are installed on fixed foundations. Specifically, the project features an array of jacket foundations in its phases.

Electricity Generation and Environmental Impact

• The wind farm generates approximately 528,000 MWh of electricity per year, which helps to offset around 370,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually.

Contractors and Suppliers

• Shanghai Electric Wind Power Equipment was selected as the turbine supplier for this project, although the turbines installed are Siemens SWT-4.0-130. This discrepancy may be due to different phases or sources of information.

Development and Tendering

• The project was awarded to Shandong Luneng Group through China’s first offshore wind tender. The bid winning price for the Dongtai wind farm was CHY0.6235/kWh.

Additional Information

• This project is part of China's early stages of offshore wind development, aimed at accumulating technology and management expertise for larger-scale projects in the future. The project's success is significant given the complex operating environments and construction difficulties associated with offshore wind farms in China, such as the frequent occurrence of typhoons.
