An 18-MW prototype WT with 260-m rotor diameter and 53,000-sq-meter sweep area was unveiled by China's Haizhuang Wind Power. To avoid supply chain issues, most of the components were internally sourced (blades, gearbox, and generator). One unit produces 74 million kWh/year, enough to supply 40,000 households with their annual electricity!
