TREE NEWS update: Germany’s Zhi Kang Group said on September 28 that the main structure of the world’s tallest wind turbine, which it designed and built, has been completed at a final design height of 365 meters. The turbine is located near the town of Schipkau in Lusatia, a former coal-mining region in Brandenburg, eastern Germany. The German Wind Energy Association said it is the world’s tallest wind turbine, just 3 meters shorter than the Berlin TV Tower, Germany’s tallest building.

AI take
The symbolic weight here is the siting: a record-height turbine in a former coal region recasts Lusatia's industrial identity around wind rather than lignite. It also underscores how much of Europe's turbine supply chain and project execution now runs through Chinese firms, which matters for European OEMs and for debates about domestic manufacturing. The open question is whether this height becomes a repeatable design template for low-wind inland sites or remains a one-off showcase.
