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.

At a national referendum in 2023, Uzbekistan’s citizens voted in favor of a new edition of the Constitution, which defined the country as a sovereign, democratic, social-welfare and secular state ruled by law.
As Uzbekistan enters a new stage of its development, environmental protection, rational use of nature, addressing ecological issues and eliminating their negative consequences have become one of the priority areas of national policy designed to deliver decent living conditions for people and improve their well-being.
