The company has received an order to supply a 10MW turbine along with 14 units with 13.6MW capacity to the 200MW scheme. This is its first ever in the offshore sector.
Jieyang Shibeishan is one of China’s first offshore wind schemes. Its first phase, commissioned in 2007, deployed 167 wind turbines of 600kW capacity.
Commenting on the LinkedIn platform, the company said the order marked the company’s “official entry into a new phase where our offshore and onshore wind power businesses develop in parallel”.
The company began diversifying from heavy equipment and onshore turbines in April 2023, when it unveiled a 9MW offshore design.
Last October, it announced a test rig for turbines of up to 35MW in capacity, following a global trend to produce larger and larger machines.
In Jieyang Shibeishan, the replacement of numerous small units with 15 large ones will double capacity and reduce the size of the site by 6ha.
At present, the record for a single wind turbine is 20MW, so if Sany’s research and development effort is successful, it would be by far the largest unit ever engineered.
Sany, which is based in Changsha, Hunan, is the world’s fourth largest equipment maker.
