As Europe builds its offshore wind capacity, China’s Dongfang Electric has set a new benchmark with a 26 MW offshore wind turbine, the largest in the world. This turbine, developed as part of China’s drive to reduce energy costs, has a 31% greater capacity than the previous record-holder.
With blades reaching a diameter of 310 meters, Dongfang’s breakthrough could pave the way for more efficient and powerful turbines globally. As both Europe and Asia work on scaling up offshore wind capabilities, this latest advancement shows how technology can help meet renewable energy goals worldwide.
