Ming Yang Smart Energy Group announced plans to build the world’s largest floating wind turbine, as Chinese firms seek a larger share of the global market while rivals grapple with rising costs.
The firm is working on a 50-megawatt, two-headed turbine, Zhang Qiying, president of Ming Yang’s international business, told media in Beijing on Tuesday. He didn’t reveal a timeline for release. That capacity would be nearly double the size of the largest design currently available.
China remains a standout in the global offshore wind industry, which elsewhere is contending with high interest rates and material costs, as well as pushback against green policies in some countries. China’s largest turbine makers are lobbying the government to accelerate installations, which would more than double output by the end of the decade.
China has blazed past previous targets on renewable energy, with record rates of wind and solar power installations putting the country six years ahead of schedule on its 2030 goals.
