GE subsidiary LM Wind Power is completing the final touches on what it says is the world’s largest wind-turbine blade at 107 meters. The blade has finished the molding process and will next receive post-molding finishing touches. The manufacturing is being done at LM Wind’s factory in Cherbourg, France, according to a release.

Lastly, the blade will undergo rigorous testing and validation to demonstrate its ability to withstand more than 20 years of operation offshore.

“The LM 107.0 P is one of the biggest single-components ever built,” shared Lukasz Cejrowski, LM 107.0 P Project Director, LM Wind Power. “This is an amazing achievement not only for LM Wind Power and GE Renewable Energy, but for the entire wind industry.”

The 107-meter blade will be installed on GE’s Haliade-X 12-MW offshore wind turbine, and what’s been called the world’s most powerful turbine. The Haliade-X platform is designed to offer greater efficiency in generating power from the wind that is available.
