Goldwind&HuaDong Power installed the biggest Floating wind turbine unit in the world GWH252-16-F in BeiHai
On October 1, 2025, the GWH252-16-F floating wind turbine unit, jointly developed by Goldwind and China Three Gorges Corporation, was successfully installed in Beihai, Guangxi. It set multiple global records for the largest single-unit capacity and largest rotor diameter among floating offshore wind turbines currently installed, with all key components achieving full localization.With an annual power generation exceeding 57 million kWh, the unit can meet the electricity needs of 31,000 three-member households for one year.
HuaDong Power provided back up diesel generator set for it to adapt to severe weather at sea. The maritime climate is highly variable and the power grid is weak. Extremely powerful typhoons may cause damage to the power generation units at any time. At such times, the diesel power generation units provided by East HuaDong Power can help the wind power generation units achieve emergency startup, complete self-protection actions such as re-stowing the blades and adjusting the direction, thus ensuring that the wind power generation unit can withstand -20 degrees Celsius cold weather and a 17-level super typhoon.
