NEW PLANT FOR BIG BLADES

摘要

Due to open in 2023, the plant will be operated by GE subsidiary LM Wind Power and will employ up to 750 people directly and 1,500 jobs supported indirectly. The factory will manufacture 107m long blades for GE's Haliade-X, which is claimed to be the world's most powerful offshore wind turbine "This new plant will contribute to the development of an industrial cluster dedicated to offshore wind in the North East of England," said Jerome Pecresse, president and CEO of GE Renewable Energy. Dogger Bank will initially use 190 GE Haliade-X 13MW offshore wind turbines over two sites (ASB) for an installed capacity of 2.47GW. The last phase of the North Sea project, Dogger Bank C, will use GE Haliade 14MW turbines, taking the overall capacity to 3.6GW on completion in 2026 and making it the world's largest offshore wind farm.
