On May 24, the Hailing Island International Wind Energy Conference (2025) opened in Hailing Island, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. Mingyang Group, a global offshore wind leader and key enterprise in Guangdong's offshore wind chain, attended the conference. It showcased breakthroughs in deep-sea wind technology, equipment innovation, and full-industry-chain layout, and shared successful offshore wind development experiences.

Zhang Chuanwei, Mingyang's chairman, highlighted that Yangjiang is crucial for Guangdong's offshore wind power. Mingyang collaborates with Yangjiang to innovate in floating wind power, hydrogen production, and wind-fish integration, and promotes green electricity and zero-carbon industrial parks. Looking ahead, Mingyang will continue to drive innovation, optimize lifecycle services, and reduce electricity costs to support ocean energy development.

During the conference, Zhang Chuanwei also held discussions with new energy leaders from major central enterprises, focusing on innovation-driven ocean energy development and providing integrated solutions for high power generation, availability, and low electricity costs.

World Bank data shows that global offshore wind potential is 71 billion kilowatts, with deep-sea areas accounting for 70% but currently under 0.5% developed. China has 670,000 square kilometers of deep-sea developable area with average wind speeds over 9 meters per second, offering vast untapped resources. Mingyang aims to unlock these resources through technological innovation.

Zhang Qiying, Mingyang's International Business President, emphasized that unlocking deep-sea wind resources is key to global energy transition. Mingyang's innovations in materials, manufacturing, floating turbines, and smart systems enable cost-effective, large-scale deep-sea wind power development. Examples include China's first floating turbine and the world's largest dual-rotor floating platform.

Innovation is vital for offshore wind. As the world shifts from resource-dependent to technology-driven energy, Mingyang adheres to new energy development principles. It expands resource boundaries, improves efficiency, and lowers green energy costs through technological advancements.

In a conference dialogue, Liu Lianyu, Mingyang's Deputy Party Committee Secretary, noted that new policies signal a refined management phase for wind power, emphasizing lifecycle stability. Manufacturers must enhance intelligent design, customize models, improve low-wind performance, and adapt to grids for optimal LCOE. With power market reforms, they must also develop power prediction and integrated solutions, innovate business models, and leverage green electricity trading and carbon assets. Liu concluded that while policies pose challenges, they also offer opportunities for Mingyang to drive quality development and contribute to a new power system.
