A prototype of GE Renewable Energy's Haliade-X 12 MW offshore wind turbine set a new world record for the amount of electricity produced over a 24-hour period last week, GE Renewable Energy announced on social media.

The previous world record was set a few months earlier in December 2019, when the same turbine managed to produce 262 MWh, but now the turbine has set new records again, where the turbine managed to produce 288 MWh over 24 hours.
30,000 households received electricity in December at the latest world record.
GE Renewable Energy aims to have the wind turbine ready for the market in 2021. The Haliade-X 12 MW turbine has been chosen by, among others, Ørsted, which will install the turbine type at its American wind farm in Maryland, and Equinor and SSE's joint Dogger Bank Offshore wind farm, which is set to become the world's largest wind project when it is completed.
