As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary (UN@80), one project off the coast of the Chinese mainland is rewriting the rules for clean energy! 🌍💨
Meet Qingzhou IV, China’s farthest offshore and deepest water wind farm, located 69 km off Yangjiang City in Guangdong Province. It’s not just far from shore; it’s also one of the deepest engineering feats in the sea! 😎🌊
During a recent visit, Kate Zhang from Mingyang Smart Energy witnessed how the OceanX platform—the world’s first dual-rotor floating wind platform—powers this V-shaped giant. Each year, it delivers about 1.83 billion kWh of clean electricity, cutting ~570,000 tonnes of standard coal use and lighting up 30,000 homes! ⚡🏠
With climate action taking center stage, projects like Qingzhou IV show how innovation can meet our green goals. The future of energy? It’s floating above the waves! 🌬️🔋
