A world record-breaking floating offshore wind turbine with a capacity of 16 megawatts has been installed in China, creating an outstanding record in clean energy and offshore wind turbine technology. The wind turbine, nicknamed the "Three Gorges Pilot," is expected to produce enough electricity to supply power to some 4,200 homes each year. Designed specifically for deep-sea areas where regular offshore turbines cannot be used, this floating wind farm serves as further proof of growing interest in such offshore facilities. Scientists claim that floating wind turbines can help tap large wind energy resources offshore and promote clean energy development.
