All countries in the world are seeking to accelerate energy transformation, and offshore wind power is moving forward at a high speed! The reporter from Seetao.com learned that the Guangxi Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project, which is controlled and constructed by Guangxi Investment Group, will be fully launched in the first quarter of 2023, achieving a breakthrough in Guangxi Offshore Wind Power Zero.

Since the site A of the Fangchenggang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project was approved in December 2022, Guangxi Investment Group has accelerated the start of the project, striving to connect the first unit to the grid for power generation by the end of 2023, and connect the full capacity to the grid by the end of 2024, becoming Guangxi's first offshore wind measurement , the first offshore wind power project to be approved, the first to start construction, the first to be connected to the grid, and the first to be put into production at full capacity.

The Guangxi Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project is the first offshore wind power project in Southwest China. It is divided into the Fangchenggang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project (1.8 million kilowatts) and the Qinzhou Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project (0.9 million kilowatts). In August 2022, it will be controlled by Guangxi Investment Group. Participate in the competition for development rights. The Fangchenggang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project has a planned installed capacity of 1.8 million kilowatts and an estimated total investment of about 24.5 billion yuan. After completion, the annual on-grid electricity will exceed 5 billion kilowatt-hours, which can meet the basic electricity consumption of 5 million households.

The Fangchenggang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project has an obvious role in stimulating investment, driving the offshore wind power industry to settle in Guangxi, forming a center centered on the manufacture of wind turbines, towers, and blades, supporting industries such as generators and gearboxes, marine ranching, seawater hydrogen production, and energy storage. and other extended industrial clusters for integrated development, and build a whole industrial chain integrating exploration and design, equipment manufacturing, scientific research and testing, construction operation and maintenance, breeding and tourism. In the next step, Guangxi will focus on the development of wind power and the construction of supporting industrial chains, and build two parks (offshore wind power equipment industrial park, wind power science and technology park), two clusters (offshore wind power equipment manufacturing cluster, offshore wind power equipment related industry cluster), three Center (operation and maintenance center, testing center, big data center) offshore wind power supporting industry layout, large-scale, intensive and sustainable development of offshore wind power resources, to create a 10-million-kilowatt offshore wind power base in the Beibu Gulf and a 100-billion-level offshore wind power industry cluster , to promote the high-quality development of Guangxi's Xianghai economy.

It is understood that as of 2022, China's offshore wind power grid-connected installed capacity will be about 30 million kilowatts, accounting for about 50% of the global market share, ranking first in the world. Guangxi Beibu Gulf has a coastline of 1,628 kilometers and is rich in wind energy resources. According to the national "14th Five-Year Renewable Energy Development Plan", focus on the construction of five major offshore wind power bases including Guangxi Beibu Gulf. At present, Guangxi has planned 9 offshore wind farm areas with a total planned installed capacity of 23.5 million kilowatts. As the first offshore wind power project in Guangxi, the Fangchenggang Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Project will accumulate experience in offshore wind power development and project investment for Guangxi, promote the high-quality and vigorous development of Guangxi's offshore wind power industry, and further promote the comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation of Guangxi's energy industry.
