Yangjiang Shapa - phase V

Location

• The Yangjiang Shapa offshore wind farm is located in the South China Sea, specifically in the Yangjiang area of Guangdong Province, China.

Developer and Owner

• The project is developed by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGNE).
• The owner details are not explicitly mentioned in the public sources, but it is associated with China Three Gorges Corporation.

Capacity and Turbines

• The total nominal power for Phase V of the Yangjiang Shapa wind farm is 300 MW, similar to the other phases.
• However, the specific turbine model and number for Phase V are not provided in the available sources. For context, other phases of the project have used various turbine models, but the exact details for Phase V are not specified.

Commissioning and Operational Status

• The project is operational, but the exact commissioning date for Phase V is not provided in the sources. Other phases of the project have been commissioned at different times, with some phases operational since 2018 and others in later years.

Coordinates

• The coordinates for the different phases of the Yangjiang Shapa wind farm vary slightly, but for Phase V, the coordinates are approximately:
  • Latitude: 21° 18' 0"
  • Longitude: 111° 35' 59.9"
  • Geodetic system: WGS84.

Environmental and Social Impact
