China has installed the world's largest floating wind turbine, with a capacity of 16 MW
"The 16-megawatt turbine, named 'Three Gorges Pilot,' was set up on Saturday more than 43 miles (70 kilometers) off the coast of Yangjiang in Guangdong Province, according to the project’s developers.
The new system centers on a 16 MW wind turbine supported by a floating structure. Unlike traditional offshore turbines, this one can work on a semi-submerged base, allowing it to operate in deeper waters where winds are stronger."
