"The UK plans to add a huge number of wind farms in the coming years as it targets a clean power grid by 2030. But rising costs for construction threaten to drive up customer bills. Cheap Chinese turbines have long been touted as a way to contain the expense, yet importing the technology is politically fraught.

Not only would such a move erode sales for European competitors; it feeds fears that granting Beijing access to critical energy infrastructure may pose a threat to national security.

A German firm that chose Ming Yang turbines for a wind farm last year is now looking to cancel the order in favor of machines from a unit of Siemens Energy AG. The reversal came after a study commissioned by Germany’s defense ministry warned that China could use critical components to spy, though the developer, Luxcara GmbH, said that had no influence on its decision."
