As China's push to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 draws increased attention toward wind power, experts say moving wind farms to deeper waters could eliminate some of the challenges to offshore wind power and help expand the fleet of turbines.
A new plant operated by LM Wind Power, a Danish wind turbine blade manufacturer, last Friday began manufacturing 107-meter blades -- among the longest blades worldwide -- in East China's Fujian province.The blades are expected to roll off the production line this October and will add to the variety of Chinese-made wind turbine components available for wind farms at home and abroad.
The plant is situated at the 1,000-mu (about 66.7 hectares) offshore wind power industrial park run by the Fujian division of the China Three Gorges Corporation, the developer of China's largest hydropower project, which broke ground in 1994 in Central China's Hubei province.
Before LM, domestic companies like Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co Ltd and Dongfang Electric Corporation Limited had settled in the industrial park and produced electrical generators, blades and other components.
The bay next to the industrial park houses 59 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of over 357.4 megawatts and annual electricity output of 1.4 billion kWh - link
