"The first single offshore wind power", struggling to move


Date:

25 Jul,2017

More than half a year has passed, "the first single offshore wind power" is still struggling. The first batch of offshore wind power concession bidding project bidding, more uncertainties, slow construction, hydrographic sounding just done, air traffic control, waterways, radar coordination work has not been completed. The reason for the slow progress is mainly due to the following aspects: First, supporting regulations and policies are not yet complete, the "Interim Measures for the Management of Offshore Wind Power Development and Construction" rules have not yet been introduced. Second, the government's preliminary work is not in place, increasing some of the costs of enterprises. After the first batch of bidding, offshore planning was re-changed, resulting in Longyuan Power's preliminary work being wasted. Third, the project's implementation experience is insufficient, corresponding to the quality of the turbine to be improved. Fourth, the low price of the winning bid, the enterprise profit is less.

At present, the installed capacity of offshore wind power built in China is 142,500,000 kilowatts, which is far from the total installed capacity of international offshore wind power of 3.5 million kilowatts in 2010. According to China's renewable energy plan, the installed capacity of offshore wind power is planned to reach 5 million kilowatts in 2015 and 30 million kilowatts in 2020. This means that offshore wind power will grow rapidly in China in the next few years. But because of the above reasons, more industry insiders are cautious about this.
