China Unveils Record-Breaking Wind Turbine Blade Twice the Height of the Statue of Liberty
A massive wind turbine blade measuring 140 meters, twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, has been unveiled in China, signaling a major leap in renewable energy innovation.
China has launched the world’s longest wind turbine blade at 140 meters, a length that doubles the height of the Statue of Liberty, marking a significant milestone in renewable energy development. Manufactured by China’s CSSC Haizhuang, the colossal blade is designed for ultra-large offshore turbines capable of generating more power from each rotation, reducing the number of turbines needed and lowering overall costs. This achievement reflects China’s growing leadership in clean energy technology and its ambition to accelerate the global transition to sustainable power sources. Read more.
