Sany Renewable Energy has received an order from Guangdong Energy Group for the Jieyang Shibeishan offshore wind project. The wind farm will consist of 14 offshore wind turbines rated at 13.6 MW and one 10 MW unit.
Located in the coastal intertidal zone of Jonghai Town, Huilai County, Guangdong Province, the project features a 13.6 MW turbine designed specifically for this site. Based on Sany’s 12.X-16.X MW onshore and offshore platform, these turbines are built to withstand extreme wind speeds equivalent to Category 17 typhoons.
The Jieyang Shibeishan offshore wind project was among China’s first concession-tendered wind power initiatives. The original wind farm, commissioned in 2007, included 167 turbines of 0.6 MW capacity, with a total installed capacity of 100.2 MW. Guangdong Energy Group is now modernising the site under China’s national policy for upgrading ageing wind power facilities. By replacing older turbines with 15 Sany units, the upgraded wind farm will double its total installed capacity while preserving 60,000 m² of land.
