河北将推动海上清洁能源项目建设 探索“海上风电+绿电直连”Hebei will promote the construction of offshore clean energy projects and explore 'offshore wind power directly connected to green electricity'

According to the recently released "'Green Bohai' Action Plan (2026–2030) Hebei Edition", Hebei Province will orderly promote the construction of offshore wind and photovoltaic projects, accelerate the construction of offshore clean energy projects in Qinhuangdao, Tangshan, and Cangzhou, and urge the approved projects to speed up implementation. The plan also proposes advancing the integrated development of offshore wind power with marine oil, marine ranching, and marine computing, and exploring the implementation of the 'offshore wind power green electricity direct connection' project based on the demand of the Tang-Qin load center.

The Bohai Sea is an important strategic area for Hebei's marine energy resources, and it is also the clean energy base for the "Green Bohai" green shipping transformation. The action plan incorporates offshore renewable energy development into the overall framework of green shipping transformation, focusing on the general approach of 'land and sea coordination, wind and solar development side by side, integrated development, and safe and efficient operation', and makes systematic arrangements for the deep integration of offshore renewable energy development with green and low-carbon port and shipping transformation.

In terms of scaling up offshore wind power and photovoltaics, Hebei Province has strategically planned in the coastal cities of Qinhuangdao, Tangshan, and Cangzhou, and is orderly advancing the construction of offshore wind and offshore photovoltaic projects. For offshore wind power, projects such as the Shanhaiguan Offshore Wind Power Phase I, Hebei Construction Investment Tangshan Offshore Wind Power, and Tangshan Shunhuan Offshore Wind Power are being promoted in sequence. For offshore photovoltaics, Qinhuangdao City's 1.8 million kW offshore photovoltaic demonstration pilot project and Qinhuangdao City's 2 million kW 'co-located wind and photovoltaic' offshore photovoltaic project are being accelerated.

In terms of green electricity direct connection, Hebei Province will implement supporting policies for single-user and multi-user green electricity direct connections, establish a 'report-and-approve-on-demand' green approval channel, and, in line with the load center demands of Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, guide coastal areas to explore implementing 'offshore wind power green electricity direct connection' demonstrations. This will promote offshore green electricity to supply industries such as steel and chemicals at port-adjacent large industrial sites through dedicated lines, helping key products meet export carbon footprint requirements and turning the advantages of offshore green electricity into a green competitive advantage for port-adjacent industries.

In terms of integrated diversification, Hebei will orderly promote the integrated development of offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaics with marine ranching, marine computing, seawater desalination, seawater hydrogen production, and other industries, fostering emerging green marine industries and creating a new pattern of marine energy utilization characterized by multiple energy complements, three-dimensional development, and integrated growth. At the same time, efforts will be accelerated to promote green development in oilfields, encouraging nearby green electricity access to oilfield production systems, expanding shore power for the Qinhuangdao–Caofeidian oilfield cluster, and supporting the establishment of a "low-carbon and zero-carbon operation area" at the Qinhuangdao 27-3 oilfield. There will also be vigorous development of green manufacturing industries such as renewable energy ships and high-end offshore engineering equipment, planning and implementing projects like unmanned ship manufacturing and intelligent port equipment manufacturing in Qinhuangdao, and orderly laying out forefront industries such as seawater hydrogen production.

The Hebei Provincial Development and Reform Commission will, according to the action plan deployment, further strengthen communication and coordination with relevant national and provincial departments, comprehensively consider factors such as sea area space, ecological protection, and shipping safety, and orderly advance preliminary work and construction of offshore renewable energy projects. Efforts will be made to actively plan and reserve subsequent projects, continuously expand the supply of offshore clean energy, and provide stable and clean power support for green shipping, port operations, and port-adjacent industries.
