The wind farm is about to be built off the coast of Chaozhou City, China with an estimated capacity of 43.3 GW.

The city of Chaozhou, in Guangdong province, China will build an offshore wind farm so large that it is expected to produce more than the total electricity output of all of Norway combined.

The city plans to start a wind farm with a capacity of 43.3 GW by 2025. The cost of the farm is not disclosed. If put into operation, this farm alone will have an ability of 10 times the total wind power output in Vietnam in 2022 - estimated at 4GW (according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade).

Chaozhou's wind farm will be located between 75 and 185 kilometers off the coast of the city, across the Taiwan Strait. This area has a unique topographical feature. The wind is strong enough to run the turbines for 3,800 hours to 4,300 hours per year - an unusually high rate.

Recently, China also opened an offshore wind turbine with a record blade diameter of 252m, for a capacity of 13.6 MW.

In 2021 alone, China has connected wind farms to its national grid infrastructure up to 17GW, more than any other country in the world has installed in the past five years. All of this effort is aimed at achieving the goal of net zero emissions by 2060.
