        On May 17, the turbine foundation construction for Lot 1 of Huaneng Shantou Lemen (II) Offshore Wind Farm Projecta key energy project in Guangdong Province in which our company participatedwas fully completed. image.png

The project is located near the Lemen Islands, off the eastern coast of Shantou City and the southern waters of Nan'ao County, with the nearest offshore distance of approximately 14 kilometers.  

With a total planned capacity of around 600 MW, it stands as the largest single-unit offshore wind farm under construction in eastern Guangdong.  

Our company's scope of work in Lot 1 includes:  

- Foundation construction for 27 × 11 MW wind turbines  

- Turbine installation  

         - Foundation construction for 1 offshore booster station

During the construction process, the project leveraged "Guansheng Yihang"Asias largest and most versatile deepwater modular pile-stabilizing platformto ensure the successful installation of extra-large-diameter monopiles.  

To further enhance efficiency, the team pioneered groundbreaking innovations, including:  

         - Dual-Hook, Triple-Cable Monopile Handling Technique:  

- Enabled single-vessel monopile flipping, cutting flipping time and significantly boosting installation speed.  

- Optimized Pile-Driving Processes:  

  - Achieved industry-leading efficiency in oversized monopile installations, setting a new benchmark in Chinas offshore wind sector.

The successful completion of pile-driving operations has laid a solid foundation for subsequent turbine installation and grid-connected power generation. Upon completion, the project is expected to achieve:  

- Annual power output: ~2 billion kWh (20亿千瓦时)  

- COreduction: ~1.8 million tons (180万吨)  

This will significantly advance Shantou Citys and Guangdong Provinces efforts to:  

- Build a low/zero-carbon urban energy system  

         - Accelerate progress toward Chinas "Dual Carbon" goals (peak carbon & carbon neutrality)
