“Clipper Wind is taking the plunge into a leadership position for offshore wind development. The Britannia project, announced last fall as a path toward testing super-sized offshore wind turbine system, will be announcing the first sale of a 7.5 megawatt wind turbine for deployment and testing in UK waters. These turbines are a touch bigger than Enercon’s E-126 turbines. Enercon’s turbines max out at about 7 megawatts. Clipper’s turbines will take advantage of the high and steady winds of the UK’s oceans to pull another 500 kilowatts.”
