10MW+ offshore wind turbine could be next
From Wind Power Monthly
Senvion’s vice-president of corporate communications and marketing, Immo von Fallois, revealed the plans at the AWEA Windpower 2017 event (23-25 May) in California.
He told reporters that Senvion is planning to reveal the, as yet, unnamed turbine in London, and stopped short on giving any further details.
“It’s not ready now, but we know when we will deliver and we have all the facts and figures,” he said.
“We’re coming with a very big turbine,” Fallois added.
Senvion is set to become the first major OEM to confirm plans for a 10MW-plus turbine. Joint venture MHI Vestas currently has the largest know offshore wind turbine, offering a 9MW version of its V164 machine to the market.
Offshore wind turbine leader Siemens offers an 8MW, but teased plans for a 10MW-plus machine at RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind event in Manchester in June 2016.
