At 3:28 pm February 27 upon connection of the 34th wind turbine to the offshore pile cap, all the Sinovel 3MW offshore wind turbines for the Shanghai Donghai Bridge 102MW offshore wind power demonstration project were successfully installed.

The Shanghai Donghai Bridge offshore wind farm is the first offshore wind power project outside Europe and China's first national offshore wind power demonstration project. It is located in the administrative waters of Shanghai east of the Donghai Bridge, 8-13km from the shoreline, with an average water depth of 10 meters. The project has the total installed capacity of 102 MW, using 34 Sinovel 3 MW offshore wind turbines. The annual power output is expected to reach 260 million kWh, able to meet the needs of over 200,000 Shanghai households. The electricity will be transmitted through the submarine cable to mainland Shanghai. The project will save 100,000 tons of coal each year and reduce the carbon dioxide emission by 200,000t.

At present, the first three wind turbines have been put into operation, passed the 240-hour test, and all together generated 7.35 million kWh of electricity. The wind farm will put all its wind turbines into operation before the opening of Expo 2010 Shanghai to supply clean energy for this grand world event.
