Overview
Longyuan Rudong Intertidal is an operational onshore wind farm in China with a capacity of 131.3 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy expansion.
Longyuan Rudong Intertidal is an operational onshore wind farm located in the intertidal zone of Rudong, Jiangsu Province, China. With a capacity of 131.3 MW, it represents a medium-to-large scale wind project within China's vast renewable energy portfolio. The facility is situated in a coastal region known for strong wind resources, making it well-suited for wind power generation. The wind farm utilizes onshore wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity. China is the world's largest wind power market, driven by national policies such as the Renewable Energy Law and ambitious targets under the 14th Five-Year Plan. The facility operates under China's feed-in tariff system and benefits from grid integration priorities for renewable energy. Environmentally, the Longyuan Rudong Intertidal wind farm helps reduce reliance on coal-fired power, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. Its intertidal location minimizes land-use conflicts but requires careful design to withstand coastal conditions. The project supports China's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 and provides clean electricity to the local grid.
Environmental context
The intertidal location of the wind farm presents unique environmental considerations, including potential impacts on migratory bird routes and marine ecosystems. However, offshore and intertidal wind farms in China are subject to environmental impact assessments to mitigate such effects. The facility contributes to reducing local air pollution by displacing fossil fuel generation, aligning with China's broader environmental goals.
