Germany Is Now Home to the World's Largest Wind Turbine
The German town of Gaildorf is now home to the world’s largest wind turbine. When the length of the blade is added to that, the turbine’s height is 246.5 meters (808.7 feet). They’ll reportedly produce an average of 10,500MWh every year. The project cost $81 million and is expected to provide a return of $7.6 million per year, according to a report by Elektrek. Being home to the world’s largest wind turbine isn’t simply a matter of securing bragging rights — a taller turbine means more clean energy production.
