Tightly Knit Local Supply Web Boosts China Offshore Wind Push

The core components of an offshore wind farm turbines, pile hammers and submarine cables are clustered within a 10-km industrial zone in Wenzhou, east Chinas Zhejiang Province, slashing the distance from factory floor to offshore installation.

At a Goldwind factory, workers assemble turbine hubs and nacelles. A ZTT Groups cable plant sits less than 2 km away, while another nearby facility of Yongan Construction Machinery produces hydraulic pile hammers for marine construction. The compact layout allows major components to be manufactured, assembled and prepared for shipment in one area instead of being hauled over long distances.

Zhao Zihang, deputy general manager of Goldwind, said the company has exported more than 100 large wind turbines in 2025 to countries including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Chile and Laos.
