China Three Gorges ( CTG ) has announced plans for a CNY5bn ( $ 700 m ) offshore wind and fish farm in Bohai Bay . The scheme , involving 91 turbines , is one of several pilot wind and fish farms planned by Shandong province ’s regional government , which has a target of generating 13 GW of offshore wind power . The province is a leading seafood producer and has yet to install wind turbines for fear of damaging the industry . The Laizhou Bay wind farm will be the first offshore wind project in Shandong province, and the first in the country to demonstrate the benefits of combining offshore wind and aquaculture technology. Electricity in China lacks easy power supply , and the development plan uses the turbine foundations as micro islands , with artificial reefs to breed fish , oysters and sea cucumbers .
