GWEC releases new data showing impact of retrospective changes to Feed-in-Tariffs (FiT) in other markets and the costly consequences that could face Taiwan The offshore wind industry could bring some NT$880bn of inward investment into Taiwan by 2025 and create some 20,000 jobs Proposed reduction in FiT of 12.7% and…

The 10 MW rating is made possible through a larger generator diameter, building on the proven SGRE Direct Drive generator technology. By increasing the rotor diameter to 193 meters, this new wind turbine offers up to 30% more AEP than its predecessor, the SG 8.0-167 DD. Its 94-meter-long-blades provide a…

Wind turbines are designed to generate energy, not store it. When winds are sufficient, the power goes straight to the transmission grid. But if the grid gets more energy than it can handle, electricity prices drop and turbines are shut down. The reverse is also an issue. When winds are…
