German Wind Farm to Drop China Turbine Order After Backlash

A German offshore wind project that came under fire for choosing Chinese turbines to power its North Sea site is looking at canceling the controversial order.

The project’s Hamburg-based developer Luxcara GmbH wants to replace the order from Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Ltd. with a reservation for 19 turbines from German-Spanish producer Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy SA, managing director Holger Matthiesen said.
