In total, the two wind farms will feature 414 wind turbines expected to be commissioned by the end of 2021, CTG said.
The combined value of the two projects is CNY 42.4 billion (EUR 5.55 billion) and they are expected to produce about 7.2 billion kWh of electricity annually once fully operational.
Around 4,000 jobs are expected to be created during the construction of the two wind farms.
The 1,700MW Yangjiang Shapa project is divided into five phases, with the phases two to five now starting simultaneously, CTG said, making this the largest offshore wind farm ever to enter construction in China.
The 300MW Yangjiang Shapa Phase 1 delivered first power at the end of November 2019.
