The Haliade-X 12 MW prototype in Rotterdam raised the bar for wind energy. It set a world record for generating enough energy in one day to power 30,000 Dutch households. Now GE received the first commercial order for 190 of the machines. They will power the first two phases of the Dogger Bank wind farm in the North Sea — expected to be the world’s largest when completed. The prototype is performing so well that the machines will be rated even higher — at 13 MW.
