Abstract This paper describes essence of work of offshore wind power electric plants and crucial aspects of their building and operating. Prospects for development of global, European and domestic markets of offshore wind power industry have been delineated. A comparative analysis of environmental impact of an offshore and land-based 2MW wind power electric plant has been performed by using LCA method and Ecoindex – 99 (Ekowskaźnik 99) modelling.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges facing companies that operate within complex supply networks and the strategies they use to manage such complex supply networks. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses mixed methods by combining in-depth case studies with an executive forum with those of senior industry stakeholders. The two in-depth supply network case studies were carried out through multiple interviews with focal (or ‘developer’) firms that supply energy through offshore wind power and key suppliers such as wind turbine manufacturers. Findings The findings show the challenges the offshore wind power industry faces because of complex supply networks, including attempts by several actors to exert their power and control. Despite the networks facing similar complexities and challenges, two distinctly different strategies for orchestrating and governing supply networks are uncovered: one strategy resembles an interventionist strategy, while the other is based on delegation. Research limitations/implications Based on the findings, the authors identify and develop a classification of complex supply network divided into intervention and delegation strategies, thereby adding to existing research on ways to manage complex supply networks. Practical implications The authors identify strategies for focal firms for managing in complex supply networks, based on control and intervention or coordination and delegation. Originality/value Existing research on supply network strategies has largely focused on non-complex contexts. This paper draws from complex adaptive systems and organisational behaviour perspectives to contribute original insights into supply network strategies in complex supply networks.

Compared to nuclear power, wind power has a short construction period, high security, rich in resources and other advantages; compared to photovoltaic power generation, wind power has the power and low cost advantages. Over the past five years, benefit from the support of the localization rate and other policies, the average annual wind power in China compound growth rate of 101%, wind power industry chain upstream parts manufacturing localization, spindle bearings, control systems also need to be imported; midstream machine manufacturing market dominated by domestic-funded enterprises; downstream wind power operators also see five power generation groups, led by the central enterprises the wind turbine increasing unit capacity of 1.5MW and above the level of wind turbine occupy a major share of the market, the development of wind power is inseparable from the support of the policy. Offshore wind power has high feed-in tariff, high throughput advantage of offshore wind power will become a growth point of the wind power industry in the future.

Policies of the burgeoning wind power industry in China are sorted out and a comparative analysis on such policies and those in countries advanced in wind power development is made in the perspective of externality theory in the paper; then, disadvantages are summarized and constructive suggestions are proposed combined with foreign experience and these disadvantages in China.
