A city in southern China is planning an offshore wind farm bigger than all of the power plants in Norway combined.

Chaozhou, in Guangdong province, intends to start work on the 43.3-gigawatt project before 2025,

The Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona is the largest nuclear power plant in the United states with three reactors and a total electricity generating capacity1 of about 3,937 MW (~4 GW) LINK

according to a copy of the city’s five-year plan posted on industry publication bjx.com. The wind farm will be built between 75 and 185 kilometers (47 and 115 miles) off the city’s coast on the Taiwan Strait.

...Earlier this year, a city in neighboring Fujian province proposed a 1 trillion yuan ($138 billion) project that would include 50 gigawatts of offshore wind.

Norway had 38 gigawatts of installed capacity as of 2021, according to BloombergNEF data.

A 13.6 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbine with a record-breaking rotor diameter of 252 meters (827 feet) has debuted in China ahead of the country’s 20th Party Congress in Beijing, which opened yesterday.

World’s largest rotor diameter

The offshore wind turbine, which was announced on October 13 as having rolled off the production line in Fuqing City, east China’s Fujian Province, covers a swept area of 50,000 square meters (538,196 square feet), which is equivalent to seven soccer fields, the state-run People’s Daily reported on Saturday...more

1. Enough to power almost 38 time travelling Deloreans.

What are these guys really up to?

2. I deal with the people from China almost every week...

To be honest, I'm not sure what to say.

I've earned quite a few bonuses from doing biz there.

They are a pain in the a** to deal with.

Their food is OK (PF Chang's is much better).

Their govt is shit.

I will go back. The people are good.

So....I'm a fan, but not like a crazy one. But, I'd be ok going back.

I'm really so-so with them. It's not like they're Iran or North Korea, where I would never go.
