In context: how this plant compares

At 15 MW, Huaneng Guangdong Nanao East Island is below the median wind plant in China (49 MW). Technically it is described as Offshore hard mount. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
