Siemens Gamesa has confirmed the production of the first 108-metre blades for its SG 14-222 DD turbine.
It will install the first prototype of its 14MW model at the Østerild test site in Denmark later this year.
Siemens Gamesa’s BB108 blade – produced in Aalborg, Denmark – is the longest wind turbine blade produced to date, overtaking GE’s 107-metre blade for its 14MW model.
