Many countries have set ambitious goals for getting their electricity from renewable sources. Germany, for example, wants to generate 65% of its energy from renewables by 2030. Sweden wants to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040.

It’s an ever-shrinking world. Thanks to mobile technology, entire libraries’ worth of information fits snugly in our hands. We can shop, bank and work an eight-hour shift without leaving our homes. We attend lectures and hold meetings remotely, and visit with loved ones in distant countries. Never has life for much of the population been more convenient, or more physically confined.

In March, GE’s Cypress, its largest land-based wind turbine in operation, started generating power in Holland. This week, the German wind farm operator Prowind placed the first order for three of the towering machines, each of which can generate enough electricity to power 5,000 European homes. “It’s our first commercial order for Cypress, with multiple commitments in queue to follow,” said Peter Wells, CEO for onshore wind for Europe and sub-Saharan Africa at GE Renewable Energy, the company that developed the wind turbine.

Green Giant: Cypress, GE’s Huge New Onshore Wind Turbine, Comes To Life

March 13, 2019

"In a quiet corner of Europe, a giant is stirring. A prototype of Cypress, GE Renewable Energy’s largest-ever onshore wind turbine, has just produced its first kilowatts of power in the Dutch coastal municipality of Wieringermeer. It’s now just a matter of time before this colossus brings serious renewable muscle to electricity grids all over the world.

The cost of renewable energy continues to follow a sharp downward curve and the technological advances to improve its generating capacity, flexibility and reliability are going upward just as dramatically.
“For renewable energy to keep going as strongly as it has been, we do need to keep bringing down the cost and to do that, we need the latest technology,” says Jérôme Pécresse, global CEO of GE Renewable Energy. “The product cycle for wind energy has accelerated greatly — we introduce new turbines or new platforms to the market every one to two years.”

Wind Turbines Of Change: This New Wind Turbine Platform Is Creating Fresh Opportunities For Renewables Around The World

September 24, 2018
The capriciousness of the elements is a perennial challenge for intermittent renewable energy sources. The wind doesn’t always blow, and the sun hides behind clouds. While engineers may not be able to command the weather, they’re getting better at harnessing as much wind as possible by bringing wind turbines to blustery places where logistically it could not have been done before. A profitable wind farm nestled in a Japanese mountain valley or rising from the slopes of rugged Greek hills is now possible because of the combination of new technologies and skilled service crews.
