In Europe intend to build a gigantic wind turbine
Europeans, worried about the shortage and high cost of electricity in connection with the raging energy crisis in Europe, are looking for ways to solve the problem. Danish wind generator company Vestas Wind Systems plans to revolutionize the country's wind industry by creating a new plant of record size, according to OilPrice.
Amid a shortage of fossil energy resources and exacerbated environmental problems, Europe and other large regions of the world are betting on renewable energy sources. The installation of a giant wind turbine by the Danes is the next step of the Europeans on the path of "green" energy.
It is planned that the height of the power plant will reach 280 meters (slightly less than that of the Eiffel Tower, towering over Paris at a height of 300 meters), with a blade span of 115,5 meters. For functional testing of the huge wind turbine, a prototype of the new wind turbine will be installed onshore in the second half of 2022. The facility's designers expect the generator to be operational by the end of next year.
The wind power of the turbine is expected to be 80 Gigawatt-hours per year, which should be enough to power about 20 households. According to Vestas representatives, it will be "the tallest and most powerful wind turbine in the world."
