The Spanish energy corporation Iberdrola is planning to install mega turbines newly developed by the Danish-Japanese provider MHI Vestas at its Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea.

The project shows Iberdrola's determination to use technological innovation to deliver renewable power stations on a large scale as a contribution against climate change, XabierViteri, director of Iberdrola's renewables business, said in a statement on Monday.

The V174-9.5 MW offshore turbine produced by MHI Vestas is considered one of the most powerful systems worldwide. Fifty-two of the turbines are to be installed at the new wind farm, located approximately 30 kilometres north-east from the island of Ruegen.

"We are extremely proud to launch our V174-9.5 MW turbine with the Baltic Eagle project," MHI Vestas CEO Philippe Kavafyan said. The final contract still has to be signed, however.

MHI Vestas is considered to be the world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines.

At the end of October, Iberdrola had officially launched its Wikinger offshore wind farm in the same sea area. With an output of 350 megawatts, it is the largest wind farm in Germany's Baltic Sea waters to date. According to its operator, it can supply electricity to about 350,000 households.

Once it is completed, Baltic Eagle is supposed to have an output of 476 megawatts. Germany's Federal Network Agency had awarded the project to Iberdrola in April 2018; the approval process is said to be at an advanced stage.
