China launches the first high-wind offshore solar project
This output is expected to offset 90,200 tonnes of standard coal consumption each year
China's pioneer offshore solar project in Fujian has connected its first modules to the grid, marking a milestone in high-wind marine solar energy. This is reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.
This pioneering installation, with a planned total capacity of 180 megawatts, includes a 110-kilovolt coastal booster station and an advanced energy storage system.
Covering approximately 203 hectares of offshore space, the project is set to produce an estimated 300 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually once completed. This output is expected to offset 90,200 tonnes of standard coal consumption each year, making a substantial contribution to China’s green energy transition.
According to the source, the project also envisions future integration with marine aquaculture. In September 2023, the National Energy Administration of China announced its support for pilot offshore projects in regions with favourable solar resources and construction conditions.
China has also encouraged the integration of solar technology with other industries, highlighting the synergy between solar energy projects and marine aquaculture in its white paper on marine ecological protection, published earlier this year.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
