China Sets a New Record - World's Largest Offshore Wind Turbine Installed

On August 28, 2024, Mingyang Smart Energy installed the MySE18.X-20MW, the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine.

Named ‘2023 Global Best Offshore Wind Turbine,’ it boasts a modular, lightweight design with a capacity of 18-20 MW.

With a rotor diameter of 260 to 292 meters, this turbine is the most advanced and powerful in operation today.

At an average wind speed of 8.5 m/s, the turbine generates up to 80 million kWh annually—enough to power 96,000 residents.

This turbine offsets 66,000 tons of CO₂ emissions yearly, contributing significantly to environmental sustainability.

China continues to lead in wind energy, advancing lightweight carbon fibre technology for larger turbines.

Mingyang plans to unveil a 22 MW turbine with a 1,000-foot diameter by 2025, designed to withstand typhoon winds.
