Recently, the Shanwei Houhu 500MW offshore wind power project was officially put into operation. The project is constructed by the CCCC Third Harbor Engineering Company Ltd, and it becomes one of the largest single capacity offshore wind power projects in operation in China.

The project is located in the offshore waters south of Hudong Town, Lufeng City, Shanwei, Guangdong Province, with a water depth of 23 to 26 meters. The center of the site is around 12 kilometers away from the shore. A total of 91 sets of 5.5 MW wind turbines are installed. The main construction of the CCCC Third Harbor Engineering Company Ltd includes the installations  of 42 monopiles, 8 four-pile catheterstats, 2 offshore booster stations and 30 wind turbines.

After the project is put into operation, the annual contract on-grid energy can reach 1.489 billion kilowatt hours, which can save about 420,000 tons of standard coal per year and contribute to the optimization of power structure and high-quality economic development of Guangdong Province.
