The NDRC and National Energy Administration issued the Renewable Energy
Development 15th Five-Year Plan, calling for promotion of offshore wind
integration with offshore PV and other marine energy. The plan encourages
co-development of offshore wind with offshore oil & gas, seawater desalination,
marine ranching and subsea computing capacity, urges integrated build-out with
marine observation, ecological and seismic monitoring facilities, and directs
exploration of offshore energy islands as a model for comprehensive green-energy
development and higher-efficiency utilization.
