General Electric finished manufacturing the first nacelle for its new 12-megawatt offshore wind turbine, known as the Haliade-X, as the company pushes to establish itself as an offshore market rival to Siemens Gamesa and MHI Vestas.

After unveiling the Haliade-X concept last year to great fanfare, GE on Monday said it will soon ship the first nacelle from its production site in Saint-Nazaire, France to an onshore testing site in the Netherlands. A second nacelle will be shipped later this year to an offshore test site in U.K. waters, according to greentechmedia.com.

GE is racing to ensure the Haliade-X is ready for commercial shipments by mid-2021.
