Hold onto your eco-friendly hats! China just dropped a green energy mic with the installation of a 26-megawatt offshore wind turbine – now officially the world’s biggest by capacity and rotor size. 🌀
Standing taller than the Empire State Building’s observation deck (nearly 200 meters!), this engineering marvel from Dongfang Electric Wind Power boasts a rotor sweep covering 77,000 square meters – that’s like 11 soccer fields spinning in the breeze! ⚡
Designed to laugh in the face of typhoons and salty sea air, its 30,000+ components are all domestically made. Once connected, it’ll generate enough clean electricity annually to power 55,000 households – imagine eliminating 55,000 carbon footprints in one swoop! 🌱
This turbine isn’t just breaking records – it’s turbocharging China’s renewable energy playbook. Game on, climate change! 🌏🔋
