China Firm Plans World’s Largest Wind Turbine as Rivals Flop

"* 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.

• The firm is working on a 50-megawatt, two-headed turbine, with mass production scheduled for next year, and aims to offer a cost of less than 10,000 yuan per kilowatt.
• China remains a standout in the global offshore wind industry, with its largest turbine makers lobbying the government to accelerate installations, which would more than double output by the end of the decade."
