The topic of a potential break-in of Chinese turbines suppliers into the European market is being heavily discussed in the industry, with the conversation shifting from “if” to “when” this could be expected. ​

And while the topic of the use of Chinese turbines in Europe is not new to the industry, 2024 has been the first year when the industry has seen concrete actions and progress.​

As part of Aegir Insights’ mini-series “The perfect portfolio: four divergent ideas to position yourself for an offshore wind recovery” we have published a new Insights piece, providing a look into what developers need to be aware of when considering the use of Chinese turbines. ​
