China’s offshore wind resources are extremely rich. According to the latest estimates from the Wind Energy Solar Energy Resource Assessment Center of the National Meteorological Administration, the potential development of China’s onshore and offshore wind power is around 200 million kilowatts.

Compared with onshore wind power, offshore wind power has fewer negative impacts on the environment, wind speed is more stable, space is vast, and wind turbine units are allowed to be larger. In China's onshore wind power industry, there has always been a problem of overcapacity in the western region, and it is difficult for surplus power to be smoothly transferred to the eastern region.

China’s offshore wind energy resources are mostly concentrated in the coastal areas of the southeast. Close to densely populated cities with large demand for electricity, the development of offshore wind farms will effectively realize short-range consumption of this part of the electricity, and to a certain extent reduce the wind power industry. West more tight phenomenon. It is reported that China's Jiangsu Province, where offshore wind energy resources are most stable, has planned to build 10 million kilowatts of wind farms by 2020, of which offshore wind farms will exceed 7 million kilowatts.
