(ATF) – China Three Gorges Renewable, known as Three Gorges New Energy, plans to raise 25 billion yuan ($3.57bn) through the sale of shares to invest in offshore wind power projects.
If the planned sale goes ahead, it will be the largest IPO of A shares this year and the 16th-biggest ever in the A-share market, according to Three Gorges Renewable.
Investment in offshore wind power projects are likely to take priority.

By the end of 2019, the company was operating offshore wind power projects that generated a total of 1.47GW, which is expected to increase to 6GW this year, according to company data.
