China spins up offshore wind energy as Beijing promotes marine economy



Country on track to double offshore capacity additions this year, report from Global Energy Monitor says

The report said the country was expected to add at least 9GW of offshore wind capacity this year – more than half of projected global additions. China has another 22GW of offshore wind projects under construction that could commence operation beyond 2025, it added.

“China is developing a robust offshore wind technology industry, as its development boundaries are pushed farther into deep-sea areas,” said Zhang Mengqi, a GEM researcher and co-author of the report. She cited strong central government support that combined direct financial subsidies with a mix of top-level planning and market-based approaches.
