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.

  1. There was no design unveiled. They showed a blender or cgi version. There is nothing to speak of. They announced plans. Just plans and didn’t even have a date to speak of. There are maybe a handful of turbines worldwide ever tested with this design outlay. But hypelines keep rolling like there is no tomorrow. This is a highly speculative design. Very unlikely it will ever run production.

    Another time today it was total clickbait, where this 50MW turbine was alledgedly already deployed.

  2. I’m no fckng engineer but that was just 2 wind turbines that split off from a main base, it has to be more complicated to make than a 2 normal 25MW turbines right?

  3. It’s not a 50 MW turbine; but a two headed design. Basically two 25 MW turbine attached to the same floating structure.

  4. China is building sustainable energy in a most unsustainable way.

    Most of China’s projects will experience maintenance issues and degradation in a few years.
