CTG says its newly installed platform is designed for harsh offshore conditions, built to withstand wave heights above 20 metres and wind speeds of up to 73 m/s.

The Three Gorges Pilot consists of a 16 MW turbine, a semi-submersible floating foundation and a new mooring system. The platform measures approximately 80.8 metres in length and 91 metres in width, with a displacement of 24,100 tonnes. The turbine features a 252-metre rotor diameter, with a swept area equivalent to around seven football fields and a blade tip height of over 270 metres.
