UK government rejects Mingyang plan for Scottish factory

Thursday, March 26 2026

General – Politics

Chinese renewable energy company Ming Yang said its plans to open the UK’s largest wind turbine manufacturing plant in the Highlands have been blocked by the UK government.

Ming Yang had proposed its £1.5bn facility for Ardersier Port near Nairn.

In a statement it said it was disappointed by the decision but would continue to “engage constructively” with the UK government.

The UK government said the turbines from the facility would not be suitable for UK offshore wind projects and it could not support their use.
