On May 9, 2019, Shanghai Electric's 6.25-172 offshore wind turbine was successfully installed at the first demonstration project of Shanghai Lingang Offshore Wind Power. This unit is the most powerful offshore wind turbine in the Shanghai area and also the largest in terms of rotor diameter among all installed offshore wind turbines worldwide. The successful installation signifies that after six years, Shanghai has once again emerged at the forefront of China's offshore wind power industry. On March 20, 2009, China's first 3MW offshore wind turbine, provided by Sinovel Wind Group, was successfully installed in one go at the Shanghai Donghai Bridge Wind Farm, marking a historic breakthrough for China's offshore wind turbines exceeding 3MW.

In these two groundbreaking achievements in Chinese wind power history, the cable assemblies used inside the wind turbines were without exception provided by Far East Cable Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Far East Smart Energy Co., Ltd. (short name: Smart Energy Stock Code: 600869). As a leading company in China's cable industry, Far East Cable entered the wind power sector as early as 2002, independently developing specialized twisting cables for wind turbines such as 0.6/1kV, 1.8/3kV, 3.3/6kV, 12/20kV, 21/35kV, 26/35kV, and aluminum alloy tower cables. These twisting cables feature low-temperature resistance to twisting and bending, moisture resistance, cold resistance, salt spray resistance, oil resistance, UV resistance, etc., while aluminum alloy tower cables are characterized by cold resistance, salt spray resistance, flame retardancy, oil resistance, UV resistance, lightweight, etc.
Far East invested heavily in introducing advanced equipment to create special cables suitable for wind power environments. With 18 years of experience in designing and manufacturing wind power cables, superior quality, and service, it has become the largest wind energy cable supplier in China and third globally, accounting for over 30% of the supply volume. Eight out of the top ten global wind turbine manufacturers are long-term customers of Far East, which is listed as a global supplier for Siemens Gamesa, NORDEX, VESTAS, and GE.
Far East Smart Energy also focuses on four major businesses: intelligent cables and power products, smart airport/energy system services, intelligent automotive power and storage systems, and industrial internet. Numerous key national projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Shanghai World Financial Center, China Zun, Hualong One, Tibet Central Power Grid Interconnection Project, Yangtze River Bridge, Beijing Daxing International Airport, and Baihetan Hydropower Station have all seen involvement from Far East.
