The development of larger and more efficient wind turbines is a key trend in the wind energy sector, driven by the need to increase energy production, reduce costs, and improve the competitiveness of wind power. These larger turbines can capture more wind energy and generate more electricity, making them particularly suitable for offshore wind farms and other locations with strong and consistent wind resources.
Larger and more efficient wind turbines are being increasingly deployed in wind farms around the world, both onshore and offshore. For example, GE Renewable Energy’s Haliade-X is one of the largest and most powerful offshore wind turbines in operation, with a capacity of 12-14 MW.
