China's Envision Energy aims to boost renewable energy with new wind turbine

China's Envision Energy has envisioned plans for the world's largest onshore wind turbine on Wednesday, with the installed capacity for a single unit reaching up to 10 MW, which will take advantage of the country's wind resources and help to further cut down energy costs.  

Designed for China's Sanbei (Northwest, North and Northeast China) regions, which has plentiful wind and solar resources, the technological innovation of the newly released EN-220/10MW will further drive comprehensive economic and security upgrading, said the company.

The unit capacity and impeller diameter both rank top in the world and will help further reduce wind power costs in the country, it said. 

Compared with the previous EN-171/6.7MW, the newly released model will help increase power generation by 8 percent. 

China's Sanbei regions will be a pioneer in the country's new energy drive, as China plans to speed up the construction of solar and wind power generation facilities in the Gobi Desert and other arid regions amid efforts to boost renewable energy, according to a statement jointly released by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration in 2022.

Envision Energy vows to further tap into the massive opportunities of the country's new energy drive and continuously come up with technical solutions for the wind, solar, power storage and hydrogen green energy industry chain to help local governments transform their advantages in local resources into an economic advantage, while ensuring a sufficient power supply for the country, it said.
