GE's upcoming giant Haliade-X has once again broken the record for energy output in 24 hours for a wind turbine.
The previous record was set by the same 12 MW prototype of the wind turbine in February, which has since been upgraded to 13 MW. At that time, the wind turbine had an output of 288 MWh, but that record has now been broken.
The new record is instead 312 MWh, GE Renewable Energy can declare on Twitter.
Here GE Renewable Energy also writes that a single spin from the large Haliade-X wind turbine is enough to cover the electricity consumption of a household for more than two days.
However, Siemens Gamesa has already started the hunt for GE's record and has announced that they will present a 14 MW prototype next year.
GE Renewable Energy will deliver 190 units. 13 MW Haliade-X offshore wind turbines, to be distributed equally between Dogger Bank A and Dogger Bank B. This will be the first time that GE's giant model has been installed for commercial use.
