The3.2-103 turbine builds on the US group’s 2.5MW platform and generates extrapower for medium-to-high wind speed sites, GE said.

A hub-heightof 70-98 metres is designed to help developers get the most out of deploymentsin regions where that is an issue.

Cliff Harris, general manager ofEurope for GE’s renewable energy business, said: “Our 3.2-103 is the nextevolution in our European product platform. Engineered specifically for UKand Ireland permit constraints, the 103-metre rotor diameter and hub-heightflexibility make it an excellent fit for tip-height constrained sites."
