The world’s first floating wind power-fishery integrated platform was built in East China, Fujian Province, in November 2023. The platform is equipped with a 4-megawatt wind turbine and lightweight flexible photovoltaic modules, and it can generate 16 million kilowatt hours of clean electricity per year.
The platform also has a regular hexagon area for aquaculture at its center, making it a wind power generation, solar power utilization, and fish farming complex.
The platform is expected to play a significant role in promoting China’s wind power development in the high seas. It also demonstrates the potential for offshore wind power and fish farming to be integrated, which can help to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
The integration of floating wind power and fish farming is a relatively new concept, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way that offshore wind and seafood are produced. The successful construction and operation of the world’s first floating wind power-fishery integrated platform in China is a significant step forward in this developing field.
