| Chinese Wind Power Heads Offshore |  |
| Breezy tidal flats offer green power on the doorstep of China`s bustling seaboard.
China`s first offshore wind farm, a 102-megawatt array that`s set to come to full power this month in the Yangtze River delta near Shanghai, looks to be the start of something big. Chinese officials announced plans last month to request bids for three to four large-scale offshore wind power projects generating up to 1,000 megawatts total. Beijing-based energy consultancy Azure International predicts that China will install 514 megawatts of offshore wind over the next three to four years, and by 2020 will have invested $100 billion to install up to 30,000 megawatts. That`s equal to all of the onshore wind farms currently installed in China, already the world`s largest market for wind power.
