On the vast blue waves of Liaodong Bay, a profound layout for a green future is slowly unfolding. On December 14, 2025, the Ocean and Fisheries Bureau of Donggang City, Dandong, Liaoning Province officially announced the major project led by Huadian (Dandong) Offshore Wind Power Co., Ltd. - Liaoning Huadian Dandong Donggang Phase III 500000 kW Offshore Wind Power Project. This grand plan, with a total investment of 5.2109 billion yuan, not only marks a new stage in China's far-reaching offshore wind power development, but also acts as an upcoming "steel fleet" that will write a magnificent chapter in China's energy transformation story on the blue territory about 50 kilometers offshore.

Marching towards Deep Blue: Precise Layout of Far Sea Wind Field

The planned wind power site is located in the vast southern sea area of Donggang City, about 50 kilometers away from the coastline. The water depth here ranges from 35 meters to 43 meters, which is a typical deep-water area and places higher demands on the planning, construction, and operation of wind farms. The project will accurately deploy 42 modern wind turbines, including 38 "giants" with a single capacity of 12 megawatts and 4 "mainstays" with a single capacity of 11 megawatts, forming a strong formation with a total installed capacity of 500 megawatts.

In terms of engineering technology, the project shows a high degree of systematicness and progressiveness. All wind turbines adopt mature technology and structurally stable single pile foundations. The power collection scheme is ingeniously designed: 42 wind turbines will be connected through 6-circuit 66 kV collection submarine cables, using a clear and efficient chain topology structure to ensure that each circuit is connected to 7 wind turbines. The cable path planning is orderly, avoiding cross overlap and greatly improving the reliability of the system and the convenience of later maintenance. Ultimately, all green electricity will be collected at the proposed offshore converter station in Phase I and then transmitted to the mainland power grid.

Huge investment and long-term commitment: anchoring the future of green development

This announcement not only reveals the technical blueprint, but also clarifies a significant resource commitment and investment determination. The total sea area applied for the project is 357.0185 hectares, and this vast sea area will become a base for sustainable green energy production for 27 years. At the same time, the total investment of 5.2109 billion yuan reflects the strategic courage of the development enterprise Huadian Group to deeply cultivate the offshore wind power industry. The project is planned to be completed within a tight 12-month construction period, and this efficient mode of promotion also reflects China's increasingly mature engineering management and execution capabilities in the construction of large-scale clean energy projects. This investment of real money and long-term sea use planning is the most practical response to China's "dual carbon" goals, and also injects strong blue momentum into the sustainable development of local economies.

The strategic significance and far-reaching impact of offshore wind power

The landing of Huadian Dandong Donggang Phase III project has significance far beyond a power station itself. Firstly, it is a landmark project in the development of China's offshore wind power industry towards the trend of "deep sea and large capacity", which has important demonstration and leading value for the development of similar sea areas in the future. Secondly, after the project is completed and put into operation, it will contribute a large amount of clean electricity every year, significantly increasing the proportion of green electricity in Liaoning Province and Northeast China, and strongly supporting the optimization of regional energy structure and energy conservation and emission reduction goals.

Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, such large-scale offshore wind power projects will become a key pillar of China's energy security and ecological civilization construction. It not only directly drives the upgrading and development of the entire industry chain, including high-end equipment manufacturing, marine engineering design, construction and installation, and operation and maintenance services, but also promotes the prosperity of port economy, employment, and related supporting industries, achieving the coordinated progress of economic and ecological benefits. This blue sea area, which is about to be illuminated by wind turbines, is becoming a "blue engine" to promote high-quality development in coastal areas, witnessing China's solid steps from a maritime power to a maritime powerhouse.

With the public display and solicitation of opinions on the demonstration report of sea use, this green project, which integrates cutting-edge technology, huge capital, and long-term vision, has entered the substantive promotion stage. It carries the responsibility of guarding the blue sea and sky, as well as the infinite longing for a clean future, and is about to play a new era's "song of the wind" on the coast of the Bohai Sea.
