China’s National Energy Bureau (NEB) and State Oceanic Administration (SOA) jointly promulgated that the Interim Measures on the Administration of Offshore Wind Farm Development will regulate every aspect of the offshore wind farm construction in April 2010.

Meanwhile, NEB issued circulars to the authorities of 11 provinces of Tianjin, Shanghai, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Guangdong, Hainan, etc., requiring offshore wind power concession biddings to be reported. It activated the offshore wind power development in China, given that there are only two grid-connected offshore wind farms in China, i.e. Donghai Bridge Wind Farm and Jiangsu Rudong Wind Farm.
