European Commission Opens In Depth Investigation into Goldwind Science and Technology under Foreign Subsidies Regulation

The European Commission, acting as the competition enforcer for the 27-country bloc known as the European Union EU, officially opened an in-depth investigation on February 3, 2026, into Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd. 002202.SZ. This regulatory step follows a preliminary examination that produced indications the company may have been granted foreign subsidies that distort the internal market. The Commission expressed preliminary concerns that these subsidies, potentially originating from China CN, may have improved the firm's competitive position and could negatively affect competition for the supply of wind turbines and related services within the European Union.

This move to a formal in-depth probe follows a series of requests for information that were sent in April of the previous year to a group of turbine suppliers from China. The investigation is being conducted under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, which targets unfair foreign state aid to ensure a level playing field for all market participants. While the current probe into Goldwind Science & Technology Co., Ltd.is ongoing, the Commission noted that companies involved in such proceedings have the procedural option to offer remedies to address specific regulatory concerns raised by the enforcer.
