A prototype of a new 7MW onshore wind turbine from Brazilian manufacturer WEG will enter operation in 2024, while regular production is slated for the year after, the company informs in a press release.
The new 7MW turbine with a 172-meter rotor diameter will be the biggest of its kind in operation in the Brazilian market, notes WEG.
”We have already been successful with our 2.1 MW platform with over 650 MW of operational capacity, exceeding availability commitments, as well as with the current 4.2 MW platform, where we have already sold more than 1000 MW,” says Managing Director of WEG Energy Business Unit João Paulo Gualberto da Silva:
”To continue growing our wind power generation business we naturally keep expanding and offering our customers even more efficient and high-tech solutions.”
Although the 7MW turbine is intended for the Brazilian market, it is also designed with functions that will make it possible to customize it for other markets.
