Fulan Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. continues its important work at the Yangjiang Qingzhou 6 offshore wind farm in Guangdong Province, China. Since July this year, the company has been focused on the installation of the inter-array power cable , a crucial part of the infrastructure that will connect the project’s 77 wind turbines to the 330 kV offshore substation.
How is the progress of the power line at the Yangjiang wind farm?
The work is being carried out by its cable laying vessel (CLV) Fu Yang , which is part of the effort to carry out the connection of these high-capacity cables, specifically 66 kV inter-array cables. These cables will play a key role in ensuring the efficient operation of the park, which aims to generate a total capacity of 1 GW of wind energy.
This wind farm, which is located in the waters near the city of Yangjiang, is part of China’s ambitious offshore wind energy projects . When completed, it will become the largest deepwater offshore wind energy project in the world . In fact, the 330 kV export cable has already been installed this year by another of Fulan Offshore’s specialized vessels, the AilanYiHao (AL-1), consolidating the progress of the project.
A key project for clean energy in China
The Yangjiang Qingzhou 5 and 6 offshore wind projects are critical for China and the future of deepwater renewable energy. These projects underline the country’s commitment to the energy transition and the focus on wind power as a key source of clean electricity. These facilities are scheduled for completion by the end of 2024 , allowing the wind turbines to be switched on and begin generating renewable energy for the grid.
The success of this project highlights the technical capacity of Fulan Offshore and the importance of specialised infrastructures, such as cable laying vessels (CLV), in achieving progress in the installation of submarine cables that will enable the connection of wind farms with the onshore electrical infrastructure.
