The site will include a massive foundation, a lifting platform, and worker facilities. Although it will be built to handle a 35-megawatt turbine, a 26-megawatt turbine will be tested first and combined with a five/10-megawatt storage system. Read more →

China has more wind power than any country in the world and is currently adding twice as much as the rest of the world combined.

That power curve, and its ability to operate at night, sets the turbine apart from solar panels. Of course, on a completely still day, the Shine as inert as a becalmed sailing ship but if the wind picks up even as little as a breeze, it gets to work making power. The turbine even automatically pivots on the included stand to face into the wind.

President Donald Trump's comments about China's use of wind power appear to overlook the scale of the country's wind energy sector. China is not only one of the world's largest manufacturers of wind turbines but also a major consumer of wind-generated electricity.

Kawasaki and Vestas spin-off BladeRobots are testing crewless helicopters and robots to automate dangerous wind turbine blade maintenance.

The government claims the UK is on track to meet its clean power targets for 2030 following a record offshore wind auction. However, in a world where the price of so many things is going up, it turns out wind is no exception.
