GE Renewable Energy and Future Wind have inked a deal to install the US power technology giant’s flagship Haliade-X 12MW offshore turbine prototype in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam this summer, moving the design a key step closer to commercial roll-out in 2021.
The agreement with Future Wind, a joint venture between the Netherlands’ Pondera Development and Sif, encompasses a five-year testing programme and a 15-year full-service operation and maintenance period.
