Haliade X 12MW wind turbine test phase

In this testing phase, GE Renewable Energy will collect the necessary data to receive its type certification, a key step to start marketing the product in 2021.

Meanwhile, in Saint Nazaire, a second Haliade X 12 MW is being assembled, which is being sent to the ORE Catapult test center in Blyth, UK. This second wind turbine will be installed on a boat with real operating conditions, thus reducing the time needed to confirm performance and reliability levels.

This presentation started the new phase of the commitment of the GE Renewable Energy in restructuring its offshore wind turbine segment. A project that reflects the company's ability to invest and innovate, supporting its customers in a very competitive and rapidly growing market.

With the Haliade X 12 MW, they are preparing the future of the offshore wind industry in Saint Nazaire, which is a reference location for international offshore wind projects.
