World's First 16 MW Tension Leg Floating Wind Platform "Haiyou Anlan" Successfully Departs Port

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 27, the world's first tension leg floating wind platform with the largest single-unit capacity—"Haiyou Anlan"—completed its integrated assembly at Zhuhai Gaolan Port and was escorted by the Zhuhai maritime authorities as it successfully departed, heading towards the Lufeng oil field group in eastern Guangdong. This "offshore wind turbine," with a total height of over 307 meters and a total weight of nearly 8,000 tons, set sail from Zhuhai Gaolan Port, marking a significant step for China's deep-sea floating wind technology as it accelerates from demonstration applications toward large-scale and commercial deployment.

Once operational, the platform is expected to generate an average of 54 million kWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 35,000 tons and saving about 15,000 cubic meters of fuel oil each year. The green electricity produced will be directly connected to the oil field group's power grid via submarine cables, achieving deep integration with oil and gas production and pioneering a new pathway for collaborative carbon reduction through "deep-sea wind power + oil field development." This model not only directly reduces carbon emissions from offshore oil field operations but also strongly drives the clustering and upgrading of the offshore floating wind power industry chain in the Pearl River Delta, contributing a "CNOOC solution" to fostering new marine productive forces and building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system.
