The world's first floating integrated project involving offshore wind power generation and fish farming was completed off the coast of East China's Fujian Province. It is expected to significantly promote China's wind power development in the high seas.

Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group has unveiled what it says is the world’s first floating wind turbine, solar farm, and fish farm combination, Electrek reported.

The hybrid floating wind, solar, and fish farm – or aquaculture – project is in the National Marine Ranching Demonstration Zone near Nanri Island, a fishing island in Fujian Province, China.

It features a three-columned, semi-submersible floating platform that supports a 3.6-megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine and 0.4 MW of lightweight, flexible solar panels. It’s installed in an area with a depth of around 115 feet (35 meters). A fish farming space has been dedicated in the hexagonal space beneath the central platform.

The mixed energy project, jointly developed by Longyuan Power Group and Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group, can generate 96,000 kWh of electricity daily at full capacity. That’s equivalent to the daily energy consumption of 42,500 people. Shanghai Electric says it’s extensively tested the project in nearly 200 operational conditions.
