Jiangsu Dafeng Three Gorges Offshore Wind Farm Goes Into Operation

The China Three Gorges (CTG) Corporation has commissioned the 300MW Jiangsu Dafeng Three Gorges offshore wind farm in China.

According to CTG, the 300MW offshore wind farm was commissioned last week when its final 6.45MW Goldwind turbine started spinning.

The Jiangsu Dafeng Three Gorges project comprises 43 Goldwind 3.3MW turbines and 17 Goldwind 6.45MW turbines installed offshore Jiangsu Province in the East China Sea.

The wind farm entered the turbine installation phase at the end of May last year with the first 3.3MW unit put into place.

The project, jointly owned and developed by Goldwind and CTG, will generate as much as 797 million kWh of electricity per year, providing power to 500,000 households in the coastal regions.
