International turbine giants Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE), GE and Vestas joined local players in bidding for a share of the 6GW Ulanqab project, set to be the world’s largest wind farm and a zero-subsidy milestone in the Chinese market.

As predicted first by Recharge, the foreign OEMs and their 4MW or 5MW turbines were on the list with eleven domestic suppliers when Ulanqab’s developer State Power Investment Corp (SPIC) on 15 March closed bids for the project’s five tender sections, ranging from 800MW to 1.4GW.
