Tall Utility-Scale Land-Based Wind Turbines
Sector: Wind • Location: United States
Source: Department of Energy (.gov)
This project involves the development and installation of taller utility-scale land-based wind turbines with increased hub heights and rotor diameters to capture more wind energy. The turbines have grown in size since the early 2000s, with hub heights increasing by 83% to about 103.4 meters in 2023 and rotor diameters averaging over 133.8 meters. The project aims to increase energy generation effi
