REPOWER: Five Megawatt Turbine Installed Offshore

September 1, 2006
Hamburg, Germany [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] For the first time, an REpower type 5M wind turbine has been set up on the open sea. In the Scottish North Sea, in the Moray Firth, the first of a total of two turbines for the "Beatrice" demonstrator wind farm has just been set up on a lattice-like jacket structure, piled to the seabed at a depth of 44 meters. Never before have wind turbines been set up in water this deep, according to the company.
