Taller than a 10-story building, able to be built on site, and can power 14,000 homes!

These are the newest machines in harnessing wind energy.

GE’s turbines reached a record last year at 12 MW and roughly 10 stories tall.

The latest is 14 MW and a bit taller. Wind speed increases about 10 MPH every 100 feet up from the ground.

Along with improvements in efficiency comes the next phase of 3D-printed concrete bases. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bpOLSWtE1U . This is so cool (engineering geek here).

A major limitation has always been transporting bases to site. This technique will allow for wider and taller bases with greater generation.
