China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) has obtained a permit to develop 300MW of wind capacity off the coast of southeastern China.

The Fujian Development and Reform Commission recently approved the project, which will be built in the Taiwan Strait near Pingtan Island, Fujian province.

The site offers annual average wind speeds of 9.4 m/s, which ranks among “the best wind resources in China,” according to an online statement

CGN signed the investment agreement — its biggest energy project in the current calendar year — in August.
