Mingyang Reveals Twin-Head 50 MW Floating Wind Turbine, Targets 2026 Production

The company pitches steep per‑kilowatt savings through output from a new Guangdong plant.

Overview

  • Chairman Zhang Chuanwei said the two-rotor design would be the world’s most powerful offshore wind unit, with mass production planned to begin in 2026.
  • The concept pairs two 25 MW main engines on a V‑shaped tower with twin rotors measuring about 290 meters in diameter for deep‑water deployment.
  • Initial manufacturing in Guangdong is slated at 50 units per year, with a second phase targeting 150 units annually.
  • Mingyang is targeting a price below 10,000 yuan (about $1,404) per kilowatt, a level it says undercuts typical costs reported for Europe and China.
  • Separately, the firm has proposed investing up to £1.5 billion in a Scottish factory, with Ardersier Port near Inverness listed as the preferred location.
