China Huaneng connects 504 MW offshore wind project to grid

The Huaneng Shandong Peninsula North L offshore wind power project in China with a total installed capacity of 504 MW has been fully grid-connected. The project deploys 42 units of 12 MW wind turbines about 70 km offshore in water depths of 52-56 meters. It is also expected to generate around 1.7 billion kWh of electricity annually, saving roughly 500,000 tonnes of standard coal on an annual basis. 

The project uses a four-pile jacket foundation reaching 83.9 meters to ensure turbine stability in deep-sea conditions. Using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, the project achieved millimeter-level positioning for subsea piling, reducing installation time per turbine from 48 hours to 29 hours. Advanced technologies including UAVs and artificial magnetic field systems enabled the installation of an ultra-long 95.6 km submarine cable.

In February 2026, a partnership comprising Seawind Asia AG, Stream Invest Holdings AG, and Triconti ECC Renewables secured first grid connection agreements for offshore wind projects totalling 1,650 MW in the Philippines. The agreements were granted by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and cover three projects: the 450 MW Frontera Bay project and the 600 MW Guimaras Strait and 600 MW Guimaras Strait II projects.
