MHI Vestas has launched a 10MW version of its V164 offshore wind turbine, upscaled with a beefier gearbox, minor mechanical upgrades, and a design tune-up that enhances air flow and increases cooling in the converter.

The machine, which began life as a 7MW concept in 2011 and has been consistently stepped up in power rating since, is available for sale immediately, with first deliveries expected in 2021.
