TREE NEWS update: Zhongmin Energy said its subsidiary Fujian Fuzhou Mintou Offshore Wind Converter Station Co. signed an EPC general contracting agreement for the Changle offshore centralized transmission project with a consortium, at a total contract price of RMB 4.165 billion. Construction is scheduled to begin on Dec. 31, 2026, with grid connection and commissioning planned for Dec. 31, 2028, over a 731-day construction period.
Zhongmin Energy Unit Signs RMB 4.165B Offshore Wind EPC Contract
The scale and the long lead time are the story: a multi-billion-renminbi transmission contract awarded now, but with construction not starting until end-2026 and commissioning only in 2028. That gap says the bottleneck in China's offshore wind build-out is grid and transmission infrastructure, not turbine supply, and it locks in a consortium's capacity years ahead. The open question is whether such extended schedules become the norm for centralized offshore transmission, and how that pacing shapes the wider offshore supply chain.
