As the horn of the closure of Hainan Island is about to blow, this forefront of reform and opening up is standing at a historic threshold. The operation of customs clearance is not only the optimization management of physical boundaries, but also a profound change in the development mode, which puts forward unprecedented high standards for the independence, stability, and cleanliness of the energy system. Energy, as the lifeblood of modern economy and society, its supply structure and quality are directly related to whether the free trade port can operate smoothly and achieve the grand blueprint of green and high-quality development after the closure. At this critical juncture, a major energy project has broken ground in the waters of Danzhou, injecting strong green energy into Hainan like an easterly wind.

Empowering the Green Engine of Free Trade Port

The commencement of construction on the second site of the 1.2 million kilowatt offshore wind power project in Danzhou, Datang on December 16, 2025, is by no means accidental. It is precisely embedded in the time window of the intersection between the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and the national dual carbon strategy. As the first batch of offshore wind power demonstration projects during the 14th Five Year Plan period in Hainan Province, with a total investment of about 5.5 billion yuan and a planned installed capacity of 600000 kilowatts, it demonstrates the responsibility of energy central enterprises in serving the national situation. Jia Bingjun, Chairman of Datang Hainan Energy Development Co., Ltd., proudly stated, "In the past, we brought projects, but now we hope to bring a complete industrial chain to allow the seeds of high-end manufacturing to bloom and bear fruit in Hainan

After the project is completed, it is expected to deliver 3.54 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving 1.1 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2.87 million tons. This set of data is like a timely rain for Hainan, which is committed to building an upgraded version of a clean energy island and optimizing its energy structure. It can not only significantly increase the proportion of local clean energy, enhance self-sufficiency and guarantee of electricity, but also lay a solid green foundation for various industries that urgently need high-quality and sustainable energy support after the closure. It is a key energy pivot for free trade ports to move towards high-quality development.

Hainan sample of quenching technology and industry

This project is not only a reflection of scale, but also a model of technological breakthroughs and industrial linkage. Faced with the complex geological and sea conditions in the Danzhou sea area, the project team did not adopt a one size fits all solution, but innovatively planned three types of foundation pile types and implemented customized construction with one machine and one policy, ensuring the safety and stability of the entire life cycle and demonstrating the quality of refined management of Datang. What is particularly noteworthy is its industrial driving effect: all 60 wind turbine hosts at project site one are manufactured and used in Hainan, produced in Yangpu Offshore Wind Power Industrial Park. This marks a substantial breakthrough in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing in Hainan, and the offshore wind power industry cluster is taking shape. At the same time, the large-scale application of the large barrel diameter pipeline support foundation technology under deep silt geological conditions is a pioneering technology in China, which has accumulated valuable experience for the development of similar sea areas. This kind of project drives a virtuous cycle of industry, industry promotes technology, and technology feeds back projects, which is a vivid practice of cultivating new quality productivity and promoting the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry in Hainan.

From the turbulent waters of Danzhou to the steady construction of a free trade port, the Datang offshore wind power project is like a green bridge connecting the present and the future. It not only delivers electricity, but also gives Hainan the confidence and confidence to achieve energy self-reliance, industrial upgrading, and ecological priority. As Jia Bingjun said, "What we provide is not only green energy, but also hope to light up a better life." When the sea breeze drives the huge blades to slowly rotate and clean electricity flows into the power grid, what we see is a greener, more resilient, and more dynamic Hainan Free Trade Port, which is moving forward at full speed along the direction of high-quality development, braving the wind and waves.Editor/Cheng Liting
