China has initiated a significant overhaul of its energy sourcing as a critical component of its objective to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

The offshore wind industry is witnessing a race to build more giant and efficient turbines as developers seek to lower costs and increase output. More giant turbines require fewer installations and less maintenance for the same capacity, making them more attractive to investors and customers.

Bigger is better when it comes to wind turbines. As the world looks toward more consistent renewable energy sources, wind farms are rapidly becoming the top choice for many nations. Wind farms offer benefits beyond generating energy during nighttime. They can also be positioned in territorial waters where stronger winds prevail without impacting the limited land resources that certain countries possess.companies like GE and Siemens have built large-capacity wind turbines.

Each of the 16 MW wind turbines being installed as part of the project has a turbine hub at a height of 479 feet , about 50 stories high. The blades result in a diameter of 827 feet and sweep an area of 538,195 square feet . In a single revolution, the turbine can generate 34.2 kWh of electricity and 66GWh in a calendar year, enough to power 25,000 households.
