Energie: Chinas Offshore-Pläne stoßen in Europa an ihre Grenzen – doch wie lange noch?

Hamburg - The Chinese wind energy company Ming Yang is making significant inroads into the European market. As the third largest wind energy corporation globally, the company has established a headquarters in Hamburg with a dedicated research department. Notably, it has appointed top European executives and announced the construction of several factories, which are expected to create up to 1500 new jobs.

According to a company spokesperson, China's wind turbines are specifically tailored to meet the demands of the European market, as evidenced by their presence at this year's Wind Energy exhibition in Hamburg.

Ming Yang's European head, Horatio Evers, who took charge in September, is currently based in Hamburg. The company is currently the sole Chinese player aiming to enter the European offshore wind market, with its sights set on wind farms off the coasts of Denmark, Great Britain, France, and Germany. Despite a challenging market situation, the company sees this as an opportunity. However, the path ahead is fraught with several hurdles.
