Guangdong to build nation's largest off shore wind farm

Wednesday, 05 Mar 2008

Xinhua reported that South China's Guangdong Province plans to build China largest off shore wind farm in a bid to quench its power thirst.

The report added that the facility with sea area coverage of 240 square kilometers will be co sponsored by the Lufeng Municipal Government and Guangdong Baolihua New Energy Stock Company Limited. The plan includes a 1.25 million kilowatt wind farm, an 8 million KW supercritical power plant and a dock construction project.

Local government officials said the facility is expected to relieve the energy pressure and optimize the energy structure in the booming province.

China began to work on its second west-to-east natural gas transmission pipeline last month. It will mainly carry natural gas from the natural resources rich west to the southeastern Yangtze and southern Pearl River deltas, the country's two most developed regions.
