Overview
Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited is a Chinese renewable-energy equipment and infrastructure company headquartered in Zhongshan, Guangdong. Established on 2 June 2006 as Guangdong Mingyang Wind Power Technology Company Limited, the company began producing wind turbines in 2007. Its initial technology base included a 1.5 MW turbine designed with Aerodyn, followed by production of Aerodyn-derived Super Compact Drive turbines. The company has since developed a portfolio spanning onshore wind, offshore wind, solar energy, energy storage and hydrogen-related infrastructure. Wind power remains the core of the brand. Ming Yang has pursued large-scale, relatively high-capacity turbine platforms for both Chinese and international projects, with particular emphasis on offshore wind. Its product family includes the MySE series and earlier SCD platforms. In 2010, it began producing two-bladed 2.75 MW and 3.0 MW SCD turbines. It presented a 6.5 MW offshore SCD turbine in 2013, and the first unit of that design was connected to the grid in 2015. The company also won a 2013 bid to supply 87 MW of two-bladed offshore turbines for a project near Zhuhai. Ming Yang expanded its offshore product ambitions during the 2020s. In August 2021 it announced the MySE 16.0-242, a 16 MW offshore turbine with a rotor diameter of 242 metres. The design was described as the largest offshore wind turbine then under development and, by 2022, as the world's largest wind turbine in production or deployment, with a total height of approximately 242 metres. In January 2023 the company announced the MySE 18.X-28X, an offshore platform rated at up to 18 MW and equipped with blades approximately 140 metres long. The company also received orders for 1 GW of three-bladed 11 MW hybrid-drive offshore turbines for Chinese projects by 2023. The company became a significant participant in the global wind-turbine market. Reference material identifies Ming Yang as the fifth-largest wind-turbine manufacturer globally in 2023 and the second-largest participant by offshore wind-power installations that year. These rankings reflect the company's concentration in large machines and offshore projects rather than a broad consumer-facing brand presence. Ming Yang has used several capital markets over its history. It was listed on the New York Stock Exchange from 1 October 2010 until 22 June 2016, and has been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since January 2019. Reference material also states that it began a London Stock Exchange listing in July 2022, although the supplied material does not provide a London ticker or further listing details. The company is best understood as an industrial technology and project-solutions brand whose activities combine turbine research and development, manufacturing, installation and broader renewable-energy infrastructure.
History
Ming Yang Smart Energy was established on 2 June 2006 in Guangdong under the name Guangdong Mingyang Wind Power Technology Company Limited. It entered wind-turbine production in 2007, initially using a 1.5 MW prototype designed by Aerodyn. This early relationship shaped the company's first generation of products and helped it establish a position in China's rapidly expanding wind-power equipment industry. In 2010, Ming Yang began producing Super Compact Drive, or SCD, turbines. The initial SCD products were two-bladed machines rated at 2.75 MW and 3.0 MW. By 2011, the company was described as one of China's four leading wind-turbine suppliers and as one of the ten largest manufacturers worldwide. Its growth was supported by the expansion of Chinese wind-power development and by its focus on relatively large turbine platforms. Ming Yang moved further into offshore wind during the following years. In 2013 it presented a 6.5 MW offshore SCD turbine. The first turbine of that design was connected to the grid in 2015. Also in 2013, the company won a bid to provide 87 MW of two-bladed offshore turbines for a project near Zhuhai, Guangdong, equivalent to twenty-nine 3 MW units. This contract marked an important application of its offshore technology in a commercial project. The company continued to increase turbine capacity and to develop hybrid-drive and three-bladed offshore platforms. By 2022, it was producing a turbine described in reference material as the world's largest, with a capacity of 16 MW and a total height of about 242 metres. The associated MySE 16.0-242 design had been announced in 2021. In January 2023, Ming Yang announced the MySE 18.X-28X, with capacity of up to 18 MW and blades approximately 140 metres long. Reference material also records orders for 1 GW of three-bladed 11 MW hybrid-drive turbines for Chinese offshore projects by 2023. Ming Yang's corporate development has included several public-market stages. The company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange from October 2010 to June 2016. It has been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since January 2019 under ticker 601615.SH. The supplied reference material also states that the company has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since July 2022, but does not provide a ticker or detailed information about that listing. By 2023, reference material ranked Ming Yang as the world's fifth-largest wind-turbine manufacturer and the second-largest by offshore wind-power installations. Its business had broadened beyond turbine manufacturing to include wind-power installation and renewable-energy infrastructure covering solar, storage and hydrogen. The company therefore combines an industrial manufacturing identity with an integrated clean-energy project and technology role. The company's international profile has also attracted regulatory scrutiny. Reference material states that the United Kingdom banned Ming Yang throughout the country in 2026 because of national-security concerns. No additional details about the legal mechanism, scope of affected projects or subsequent appeal are provided in the supplied sources.

SCD wind turbines
Ming Yang's early SCD, or Super Compact Drive, platform was based on Aerodyn technology and used a two-bladed configuration. The company began producing 2.75 MW and 3.0 MW versions in 2010, and later presented a 6.5 MW offshore SCD turbine in 2013. The first 6.5 MW offshore unit was connected to the grid in 2015. SCD products were important in the company's transition from early production models toward larger offshore machines.
