A report just released by World Forum Offshore Wind (WFO) states that China connected 12.7 GW of new offshore wind capacity to its grid last year. This is 4.2 GW less than reported last month based on data from China’s National Energy Administration.

China grew with 12,689 MW of newly installed capacity during 2021, increasing its total installed capacity to 19.7 GW, WFO’s report reads, noting that it counts offshore wind capacity in operation as that where all turbines are installed and first power was produced.
