This is considered to be the largest worldwide.

State-owned power generator manufacturer Dongfang Electric Corporation announced it has successfully installed an 18-megawatt semi-direct drive offshore wind turbine.

In a statement, the company said it is located at a coastal test base in Shantou, South China's Guangdong province.

With a 260-m rotor diameter, the turbine has a swept area of 53,000 square metres. This is equivalent to 7.4 standard football fields.

It is expected to generate 72 gigawatt hours of clean electricity annually, which can provide power to around 36,000 households.
