Chinese turbine giant, Ming Yang, joins Norwegian Offshore Wind network

May 30 (splash) Chinese turbine manufacturer Ming Yang Europe has joined Norwegian Offshore Wind, underscoring its commitment to building deep, long-term partnerships with the European offshore wind community, particularly with Norway, which pioneered floating offshore wind technology.

Norwegian Offshore Wind unites around 300 member companies across the offshore wind value chain. Norway has set a target of 30GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040, with a strong emphasis on floating wind, Ming Yang’s area of expertise.

“Norway is the birthplace of floating offshore wind, and Norwegian Offshore Wind has built an industry community that we genuinely want to learn from and contribute to. Being part of NOW puts us shoulder-to-shoulder with the developers, suppliers and research institutions that will shape the next decade of offshore wind,” said Horatio Evers, CEO of Ming Yang Europe.

Ming Yang Europe’s membership follows its recent entry into the German Offshore Wind Association (BWO) in March 2025 and complements its broader European engagement strategy, which includes plans for local manufacturing, partnerships with European developers and operators, and active participation in policy dialogue on Europe’s path to climate neutrality.

“We are delighted to welcome Ming Yang Europe to our cluster. Our mission is to build world-leading supply chains for floating offshore wind, and that mission is inherently international. Ming Yang brings significant technological capability and operational track record in offshore and floating wind, and our members will benefit from that exchange,” said Arvid Nesse, CEO of Norwegian Offshore Wind.
