LM Wind Power has signed an agreement to develop a 71.8-metre blade for Chinese offshore leader Envision. The deal is followed by a supply agreement from LM Wind Power's Jiangyin factory in Jiangsu, China that will require the company to expand the manufacturing facility by 50%.

The new 71.8-metre blade will equip Envision's new 4.5 MW platform and is expected to be installed in the first half of 2018. The new large-rotor turbine is designed to effectively serve the Wind Class II and III areas in north China offshore.
