While it has been designed for offshore environments, GE Renewable Energy said the prototype would be installed onshore in order to"facilitate access for testing." The deal also includes five years of testing as well as a 15-year full service operation and maintenance agreement.
"We are on schedule to install the biggest and more powerful wind turbine in the world," GE's Vincent Schellings said in a statement Monday. Schellings added that the turbine would"contribute to make offshore wind energy more competitive." GE is investing $400 million in the development and deployment of the Haliade-X.
