Gamesa has unveiled its new 2.5MW turbine specially designed for less windy conditions. This new turbine combines a longer rotor (126 metres in diameter), nominal capacity of 2.5 MW and a range of tower heights to choose from 84, 102 and 129 metres.
The G126-2.5MW is fitted with the same electric system as the rest of the company's 2.5 MW products (the Gamesa G106-2.5 MW and Gamesa G114-2.5 MW). In addition, the blades, 62 metres long, are equipped with the technology already used in the G114's 56-metre blades. The first prototype will be installed during the third quarter of 2016 and its serial production is due to begin by 2017.
