Alone, The Wind Turbine Can Generate More Than 74 Million Kilowatt-Hours Of Electricity Every Year

The project is signed by China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) Haizhuang and covers an area of 53,000 square meters, according to the Daily Mail. The area is equivalent to the size of seven football fields, and one of the blades of the offshore wind turbine is 128 meters long.

To give an idea of its power, the offshore turbine can power up to 40,000 homes over an entire year, with its 18 megawatts. Under full wind speed, the structure generates up to 44.8 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which means a single turbine can generate more than 74 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.

New Wind Turbine Provides A Sustainable Source Of Energy

According to CSSC Haizhuang, large-scale wind energy supply can reduce coal consumption by 25,000 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 61,000 tons per year. In the statement, the company claims that “the turbine is capable of reducing the cost of wind farms and establishing a solid foundation for the development of the offshore wind industry.” Furthermore, CSSC Haizhuang states that for the higher output of this turbine, 13% fewer units would be needed to generate 1GW of electricity than if the previous model, with 16 MW, were installed.

According to the article from Globo.com, the wind energy company did not disclose exactly how much it cost to build the wind turbine. However, engineers claim that it will save over 100 million yuan in costs of other constructions, which is equivalent to 75 million reais.

CSSC Haizhuang claims to have “mastered the key technologies of high-power offshore wind turbines” and “led the global offshore wind energy industry to reach a new milestone” with its new wind turbine model. In addition, the project is expected to ensure that China reaches its goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country by 2060.
