Nation's clean energy endeavor bears fruit

Three homemade typhoon-resistant offshore wind turbines, among the world's most powerful, have been running at full power since mid-May in Xinghua Gulf, East China's Fujian province.

The turbines, with their 76.6-meter-long blades, each has a capacity of 7 megawatts, and their development cost 2.3 billion yuan ($358 million), according to Mingyang Smart Energy, the manufacturer.

The turbines are working well, said Zhang Qiying, chief technology officer of the company based in Zhongshan, Guangdong province.
