In October, employees at LM Wind Power’s wind turbine blade factory in Castellón, Spain, briefly left their posts to send off their biggest achievement to date — all 241 feet of it.
They sent the huge blade — four times longer than a bowling lane and the largest ever produced in Spain — to the local port, loaded it on a boat and shipped it to Germany, where it will harvest wind at the Merkur wind farm in the North Sea.

The company that made the world’s largest wind turbine blade will soon join one of the world’s largest makers of wind turbines. GE said today that it plans to acquire LM Wind Power, the Danish maker of rotor blades, for $1.65 billion.
LM Wind is a global leader in wind turbine rotor manufacturing. The company builds blades for the industry’s 1.5- and 2-megawatt, meat-and-potatoes wind turbines as well as 8-megawatt behemoths with rotors spanning 180 meters — more than two football fields.
