These days, Taranto, an important port in southern Italy, is particularly lively. Between the blue sea and blue sky, China’s Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) ( Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) ) offshore wind power equipment is being installed. Once the weather conditions are suitable, the main engine and blades will be put on standby for 24 hours.
This is a highly international project: the owner is an Italian company, the hoisting ship belongs to a Dutch company, the hoisting commander is British, the single pile foundation of offshore wind turbine is installed by a Spanish company, the Bank of France provides financing for the project, and Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) provides wind power equipment. China’s technology and international cooperation have made Italy another step towards the goal of increasing clean energy and combating climate change.
Ye Fan, vice president of Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) , told Xinhua that offshore wind power is known as the moon landing project in the new energy industry, and the Taranto port project is Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) landing in the European high-end market for the first time, laying a solid foundation for the internationalization of the company.
Taranto port wind power project has a water depth of 3m to 18m and an annual average wind speed of 5.2m per second. With the obvious advantages of ultra-low wind speed solutions, Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) stands out in the strong European wind power market. Ye Fan said that there are three main reasons why Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) won the project: first, it adopts the most advanced semi direct drive technology in the world; second, the customized ultra-low wind speed solution greatly improves the return on investment for customers; third, the professional team can quickly respond to customer needs.
Glaso, general manager of Vento power service company in Italy, who is responsible for the construction of the project, told Xinhua that the Taranto port wind power project is the first offshore wind power project in Italy. International cooperation in the field of wind power is very important. Different technologies and experiences can be combined to achieve the best results.
Under the background of the rapid spread of covid-19 pneumonia in Europe, Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) still transported all equipment to Taranto port on schedule. In addition to providing equipment, Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited(601615) also signed a 20-year operation and maintenance contract with customers to provide full-cycle operation and maintenance services. The total power of the 10 fans provided by Mingyang is 30 MW, which can meet the power demand of nearly 20000 families.
Ye Fan said that the project will not only help enhance customers’ confidence in Mingyang, but also serve as a good reference for Chinese counterparts, and set an example for high-end manufacturing to move towards Europe.
Amilant, Professor of energy system at Bari University of technology in Italy, said that the project is located in complex cities and industrial areas. It is an excellent offshore wind power project, which is very beneficial to the development of Taranto.
Italian energy analysis expert valliare said that the project is part of Italy’s wind power plan, which will help reduce Italy’s dependence on traditional energy and enhance public awareness of wind energy.
