    (ECNS) -- China's first offshore photovoltaic (PV) power-generation farm built in the sea off Dongshan County with high wind speeds started supplying electricity to the grid in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province on Tuesday, according to its operator, China Three Gorges Corporation.

    With a planned installed capacity of 180 megawatts, the PV farm is equipped with a 110-kilovolt onshore booster station and 18-megawatt/36-megawatt-hour energy-storage system.

    The project can provide an average of about 300 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to the power generated by 90,200 metric tons of standard coal and reduce about 240,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

    The sea area off Dongshan County has an average annual wind speed of 5.2 meters per second, with maximum wind speeds exceeding 48 meters per second. Complex marine conditions including typhoons and tides pose significant challenges to the stability of photovoltaic equipment and construction techniques.

    The PV project combines power generation on the upper level and fish breeding on the lower level.

    "China Three Gorges Corporation will continue to promote the development of marine resources, strive to achieve both economic development and ecological protection and further advance rural revitalization in the future", said Jiang Guangqiu, deputy general manager of its Fujian branch.
