CHN Energy’s 1 GW open sea offshore photovoltaic (PV) project has successfully connected its initial set of PV units to the grid.
The project is located in Kenli District, Shandong Province of eastern China, and is being developed by Guohua Energy Investment Co., Limited, a subsidiary of CHN Energy. Furthermore, the project spans 1,223 hectares and features 2,934 PV platforms supported by large-scale offshore steel truss platform fixed pile foundations. A notable aspect of this project is the utilisation of a 66 kV offshore cable paired with an onshore cable for high-capacity, long-distance power transmission. Upon completion, the project is anticipated to generate 1.78 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, sufficient to power approximately 2.67 million urban residents in China.
