Jiangsu province in China has become a leader in offshore wind power capacity, reaching 13.49 GW by the end of 2025. This is expected to supply over 30 billion kWh of renewable electricity annually and reduce more than 22 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Jiangsu has a comprehensive offshore wind power development framework covering various areas, with continued expansion in Yancheng. The province has also developed grid-connection capabilities, including offshore booster stations and the largest grid-connection transmission facility in the country. China leads globally in cumulative offshore wind power installed capacity, with plans to exceed 100 million kW by the end of the Five-Year Plan.
