The world's first 16-megawatt offshore wind turbine was installed and put into operation on Baihetan, an offshore platform with a lifting capacity of 2,000 tonnes. The 16-MW turbine's hub is 152 meters in height, 34 meters higher than that of common 10-MW offshore wind turbines. Each revolution of the turbine can generate around 34 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, or 66 million kWh of clean electricity on average annually, which can meet the normal electricity consumption of 36,000 families for a year.
