GE has announced 1GW of new US wind turbine orders following the ruling of the production tax credit on January 1, 2013.
GE also unveiled its 1.7-100 meter wind turbine which is the second brilliant wind turbine in its portfolio. The 1.7-100 advances its 1.6-100 wind turbine series by using electrical system upgrades and the power of the Industrial Internet, which works to connect data points across the turbine’s ecosystem. The 1.7-100 provides 6 per cent more power than GE’s current model and allows for higher energy capture in lower wind speed environments.
