GE Renewable Energy announced on October 1 that its 12 MW Haliade-X wind turbine – the most powerful model in the world – was “preferred” to power the future Dogger Bank offshore farm in British waters. This giant park project, composed of 3 sets of 3.6 GW of cumulative power, is supposed to start producing electricity in 2023.
In mid-September, GE Renewable Energy had also announced that the Danish producer Ørsted wanted to acquire Haliade-X for two of its future offshore parks in the United States: Skipjack off Maryland (120 MW, commissioning scheduled for 2022) and Ocean Wind off the coast of New Jersey (1,100 MW, commissioning scheduled for 2024).
Before commercial deployment, the world’s largest wind turbine still needs to be tested and certified, says GE Renewable Energy. Presentation in pictures.
