China's first large-scale 18-MW offshore wind project fully operational

China's first offshore wind project to deploy 18-MW turbines at scale is now fully operational in Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province. It has 33 ultra-large turbines, each with a 292-meter rotor diameter and a swept area of about 66,000 square meters – roughly nine football pitches. The project is expected to save some 1.92 million tonnes of standard coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions by around 5.1 million tonnes a year. By scaling 18-MW turbines, China is pushing wind energy engineering forward. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-09-24/China-scales-up-18-MW-offshore-wind-1QHF2Y0Dlqo/p.html Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
