The developers of the Vineyard Wind project off Massachusetts have just announced that they’ll be using GE wind turbines — specifically, the GE Haliade-X. That turbine recently got a capacity upgrade, from a world-leading 12 megawatts (MW) to a world-leading-by-even-more 13 MW.
Everyone knows that Texas loves setting records. It’s a big state with a big view of itself. When it comes to wind power, Texas does certainly set its fair share of records. From wind power generation records to wind energy storage records to wind farm size records to more wind power … [continued]
Texas recently set a new record for wind power across its grid by generating over 8,500 MW for 26 percent of total demand — and it could soon reach 75 percent …
Texas, a state better known for oil production, just hit an all-time record of 8,521 MW from wind power (sent to its largest grid). 8,368 MW sent to the grid from wind power was the previous record. It was achieved twice this year, as well. The day when 8,521 … [continued]
Peak wind power recently hit 4,010 MW in the UK. (The previous record of 3.8 GW was set in May 2012.) This was a record for electricity generated by UK wind turbines. At that level, wind power was generating about 10-11% of the UK’s electricity. Renewable Energy UK said the peak level was enough to power about 3 million British homes […]
