On November 13, the first batch of power generation units of China's first million-kilowatt offshore photovoltaic (PV) project was officially connected to the grid. At the site of the Kenli 1 million kW offshore PV project, located 8 km off the coast of Dongying, Shandong Province, the first batch of 300 completed PV platforms are arranged in 5 rows stretching toward the open sea.

The 1 million kW Offshore PV Project of Guohua Energy Investment in Shandong Kenli is the largest open-sea PV project in China, covering about 1,223 hectares of sea area. It introduces 66 kV submarine and land cable long-distance transmission technology for the first time, offering greater transmission capacity and lower costs. The successful grid connection of the project has set a precedent and served as a model for the large-scale development of the offshore photovoltaic industry in both China and globally.

According to reports, once fully connected to the grid, the project is expected to generate 1.78 billion kWh annually, sufficient to meet the electricity needs of 2.67 million average urban residents in China for a year, saving 503,800 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,344,700 tons.
