GE has introduced taller towers for its onshore wind turbine product line. The new towers enable higher annual energy production and increase the number of potential wind sites, according to the company.
The towers initially will be offered for GE's 2.5 MW series, including the new 2.75-103 wind turbine, and are available with hub heights in excess of 130 meters.
The taller tower will have a hybrid pre-cast concrete and tubular steel design. This construction offers an optimal balance between customer value and advanced technology while reducing logistical challenges, according to GE.
Initial key markets for the new, taller GE wind turbine towers will be Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Romania and Canada.
