As of January 2023, there were a total of 105 wind farms operating in China. China is the country with the largest number of offshore wind farms, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, and Vietnam. Higher wind speeds that occur offshore in comparison to land allows for a higher supply of electricity from offshore wind energy.
