Developed by a subsidiary of German construction firm Max Bögl, the Gaildorf project will see a natural lower water reservoir feeding smaller upper reservoirs 200 metres above, with the upper reservoirs built directly into the base of four GE 3.4-137 turbines.
Because the 40-metre-tall upper reservoirs are above ground and effectively part of the turbine towers, GE says the four turbines will be the tallest in the world – with a total tip height of 246.5
