The first two sets of blades made by LM Wind Power have been installed on Shanghai Electric Wind Power turbines at the first phase of the Shanghai Lingang offshore project in China.
LM Wind Power said the 66.6-metre blades are being installed on Shanghai Electric’s 4.0MW-136 machines.
The company added that it provided onsite support and service to carry out the installation as part of a two-year agreement to deliver the blades during 2018 and 2019.
Shanghai Electric Wind Power sourcing director David Chen said: “LM Wind Power’s proven offshore track record of quality and reliability was decisive in the selection of these long, advanced blades for our 4MW turbine.”
LM Wind Power vice president offshore Alexis Crama added: “This deal is a significant milestone for LM Wind Power to expand in China’s growing offshore market.
“We are proud to have earned the trust of Shanghai Electric Wind Power, a reliable and accountable partner that has demonstrated its leadership in the Chinese offshore market.
“We look forward to supporting Shanghai Electric Wind Power and their customers in the coming years to further develop the offshore market and support China’s green energy needs.”
