The 779.5 MW Onshore Wind Procurement Initiative is a major renewable energy expansion in China comprising eight separate onshore wind projects distributed across the Hebei, Guangdong, Henan, and Gansu provinces. Moving from the procurement phase into the construction pipeline in late 2025, the projects underscore the country’s continuing momentum in scaling up its clean energy capacity. Among the published shortlists, Dongfang Wind Power has already been confirmed as the first-ranked candidate for the 100 MW Sheqi project in Henan with a highly competitive bid of approximately $27.5 million (¥206.5 million). With civil works and turbine deliveries expected to commence within months of the final contract awards, this massive multi-province development will strengthen provincial grid supply and directly support China’s 2030 clean-energy milestones.

This rapid scaling of onshore capacity is being matched by record-breaking offshore developments, as China’s Yangjiang wind farm pushes the frontier of offshore energy to new extremes. Construction formally commenced in April 2026 on this 500 MW project, which is set to become the country’s farthest offshore wind farm, reaching up to 89 kilometers from the coast. Developed by China Huadian Corporation, the facility will be the first to commercially deploy massive 16.2 MW turbines and will utilize advanced big data and AI for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. This shift toward deeper, more distant waters marks a decisive new phase in China’s maritime energy strategy, targeting 100 million kilowatts of offshore capacity by 2030

Project Team

Confirmed/Prospective Turbine Suppliers: Dongfang Wind Power (ranked first for the 100 MW Sheqi project), alongside expected participation from major Chinese OEMs including Goldwind, MingYang, Envision, and CSIC Haizhuang.

Government/Regulatory Entities: Provincial energy authorities in Hebei, Guangdong, Henan, and Gansu.

Reported 19th September 2025: China’s wind sector marks another renewable energy milestone with the announcement of candidate bids for eight onshore wind projects across Hebei, Guangdong, Henan and Gansu provinces. These total to approximately 779.5 MW. This step moves the schemes from the procurement phase into the construction pipeline and continues to underscore China’s continuing momentum in scaling up renewable capacity.

Candidate awards and contractors

Among those awarded is Dongfang Wind Power who was confirmed as the first-ranked candidate for the 100 MW Sheqi project in Henan. Dongfang’s reported bid is ¥206.5 million (USD 27.5 million). This positions Dongfang to deliver turbines and balance-of-plant works at a cost of around ¥2,065 per kW (275 USD per kW).

Provincial notices for the other projects in Qinhuangdao (Hebei), Qingyuan (Guangdong), Huixian, Zhaoge, Xin’an, Anyang (Henan), and Yumen (Gansu) listed shortlisted candidate but have not yet confirmed the winning turbine OEMs or EPC contractors. The final award announcements are expected within weeks, after administrative review periods are completed.

What’s Next in China Onshore Wind Projects Bid

China’s onshore wind procurement system typically involves a candidate selection process before final contract awards. For projects of this scale (between 80 to120 MW), turbine delivery and civil works usually begin within 2-6 months of award confirmation. This is as seen with most preceeding onshore wind projects.

Additionally, competitive bids such as Dongfang’s Sheqi pricing highlight the strong cost compression in China’s domestic supply chain. Cost compression is the reduction in cost of building or operating a project over time. Prospective turbine majors for the 8 onshore wind projects totaling to 779.5 MW in latest China awarded bids include Goldwind, MingYang, Envision, Dongfang, and CSIC Haizhuang. These are expected to prominently feature in the final mix of supplier across the projects in the four provinces.

China Onshore Wind Sector Outlook

China awarding bids for 8 onshore wind projects totaling to 779.5 MW in the procurement round continues to reinforce China’s position as the world’s largest onshore wind market. With provincial authorities steadily publishing the 8 onshore wind projects bid outcomes, 2025 is shaping into another record year for installations in China.

The Asian powerhouse also has some of the world’s most powerful onshore wind turbines. This hallmark highlights the significance of China’s wind giants in improving the renewable energy sector.

Furthermore, for international stakeholders, the tender results provide an important cost benchmark and a signal of the technologies advancing in China’s domestic market.
