This time on the news review; we discuss Siemens Gamesa’s new 21MW prototype, and find out how much of an impact this massive new wind turbine model could have on the wider wind industry. We also explore the Chinese government’s decision to cut renewable energy subsidies and embrace a CfD-style pricing system, as it looks to maintain its place as the world’s primary wind energy market.  Meanwhile, our lists give their verdict on Ørsted’s appointment of a new CEO amid prolonged financial difficulties, and discuss how he might look to change the company’s strategy going forward.
