Nantong Rudong: building Asia’s largest offshore wind power group and building a green energy “offshore Three Gorges”

The reporter learned from the high-quality development forum of “colorful east city · rising Yangtze River Delta” held in Rudong, Nantong, Jiangsu on January 20 that Nantong Rudong added 3 million kilowatts of offshore wind power installed capacity last year, accounting for about half of the new scale in the province and one quarter of the country, setting two records of the largest number and capacity of grid connected single projects in the same year, The first wind power home port in China and the largest offshore wind power group in Asia have been built. Today, at the site of the offshore wind power project in the yellow sand ocean in the east of Rudong, 760 giant fans stand on the vast waves and continuously absorb wind and spit power into the East China power grid.

According to Chen Huiyu, Secretary of Rudong County Party committee, Rudong is a large county of marine resources, with a land area of 2009 square kilometers and a sea area of nearly 6000 square kilometers. With 86 kilometers of gold coastline and 1.04 million mu of gold beach, Rudong is a national civilized city, a famous hometown of seafood, education, culture and art, sports and green energy. It is estimated that in 2021, the regional GDP will reach 128 billion yuan, the taxable sales of industry and service industry will reach 200 billion yuan and 150 billion yuan respectively, the trial production of Jinguang and Tongkun projects will be successful, the LNG unloading capacity will reach a record high, all 11 offshore wind power projects will be connected to the grid for power generation, and the largest offshore wind farm in Asia will be built. The comprehensive assessment of project construction will rank first in Nantong, We have made a good start in the development of the 14th five year plan.

In 2021, Huaneng, the Three Gorges and the State Power Investment Corporation will compete in the coastal waters of Nantong to promote the construction of the “Three Gorges on the sea” at full speed. “Last year, Rudong added 3 million kilowatts of offshore wind power installed capacity, accounting for about half of the new scale in the province and one quarter of the country. It set two records for the largest number and capacity of grid connected single projects in the same year, and built the country’s first wind power home port and Asia’s largest offshore wind power group. At most, Rudong sea area has more than 200 ships and more than 3000 people working every day,” offshore Three Gorges ” ’Construction is beginning to take shape. ” According to the person in charge of Nantong maritime safety administration, under the influence of the epidemic, Nantong wind power industry, with Rudong as the main battlefield, still ran out of the acceleration of “rising against the trend”. All the planned 20 wind power projects were successfully completed, with an average construction period of only 6.8 months, and the supporting equipment industry was driven and growing rapidly.

On January 5, 2022, the Jiangsu provincial government held a press conference of great concern to the Chinese and foreign economic circles to interpret in detail the Jiangsu coastal area development plan (2021-2025) (hereinafter referred to as “coastal plan (2021-2025)”, which was approved by the State Council and officially issued by the National Development and Reform Commission. This heavy plan, which aims to lead a new round of high-quality development in Jiangsu coastal areas, proposes to strengthen the planning and layout of coastal power supply points and power and oil and gas transmission channels, and coordinate the construction of offshore wind power and coastal LNG receiving bases. Promote the construction of a far-reaching offshore wind power pilot demonstration and an offshore “energy island” integrating multiple energy resources, and support the exploration of the integrated development of offshore wind power, photovoltaic power generation and marine pasture. The plan puts forward development goals. By 2025, the comprehensive strength of Jiangsu coastal areas will be steadily improved, the economic and population agglomeration capacity will be further enhanced, and the average annual growth rate of regional GDP will be faster than the average level of the eastern region, accounting for about 20% of the whole province. The industrial innovation capability has been greatly improved, and the output value of high-tech industries accounts for 42.5% of industries above designated size.

According to Cai Dong, member of the Standing Committee of Rudong County Party committee and Minister of publicity, coastal planning (2021-2025), as a major issue of the implementation plan of the 14th five year plan for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and a continuation of the development plan for Jiangsu coastal areas in 2009, will undoubtedly bring a new round of benefits to the development of Jiangsu coastal cities. Rudong is committed to building “colorful Rudong”: sharpening its original mission and building a red city; Practice the double carbon goal and build a green city; Deep ploughing to the sea to build a blue city; Committed to scientific and technological innovation and building a silver city; Promote the integration of culture and tourism and build a golden city. In 2022, Rudong will firmly grasp the development strategy towards the sea, unremittingly cultivate the marine economy, and is committed to building a pilot area for the development of the sea in Jiangsu Province and a national green energy demonstration city.
