Hybrid offshore-wind aquaculture project completed in China

Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group has announced the completion of the world's first offshore renewable energy project integrating floating wind power and deep-sea aquaculture in China. Developed by Longyuan Power Group, the project is located on Nanri Island in Fujian Province and features three-column semi-submersible floating platforms supporting 4 MW offshore wind turbines and lightweight solar modules. The central area of the platform is designed for fish farming. Once operational, the hybrid floating offshore wind project is expected to generate 96,000 kWh of electricity daily, equivalent to the daily energy consumption of 42,500 people. (Offshore Wind Biz)
