The massive potential of China’s offshore wind sector seemed to finally catch light last year when the country erected 1.16GW, increasing its cumulative installations by 71% to 2.79GW.

By the end of 2020, more than 11GW will be installed in the Taiwan Strait and Yellow, East China and South China Seas if the provinces’ official targets are met.
