Fundamentally it doesn't look worth it. It's unclear why China is doing this. Why build another set of factories, moulds (for the blades), machinery, dock yards, and installation ships when you could just get on with making maximum use of the ones you've got (15 MW in Europe)

There is also limits on engineering. Mingyang have already lost blades on their 20 MW prototype (obviously they did not intend this to happen, it was not "unusual conditions" whatever they say) www.offshorewind.biz/2024/12/13/2...

Ok so it is stretching the limits of the possible which is great for science and tech and engineering
