Appendix H GE Turbine Specifications
Available in 80-meter and 96-meter hub heights, these sizes provide flexible options for Class III wind sites, allowing for higher energy capture in lower wind speed environments.

This blade, measuring 118 meters in length with a sweeping area of 45,000 square meters (equivalent to the size of six football fields), is currently the longest and highest power-rated
A wind turbine''s hub height is the distance from the ground to the middle of the turbine''s rotor. The hub height for utility-scale land-based wind turbines has increased 83% since 1998-1999,to about 103.4
Wind turbine blades are truly massive, with lengths reaching up to 107 meters—about the size of a football field. For typical 1.5 MW turbines, blade lengths range from 32.5 to 40 meters.
For example the GE 1.5s does not generate 1.5 MW of power until the wind is blowing steadily at 27 mph or more. As the wind falls below that, power production falls exponentially.
The maximum length of a wind turbine blade currently stands at around 107 meters, but future designs could potentially reach up to 200 meters, considerably enhancing power generation
According to The United States Department of Energy, most modern land-based wind turbines have blades of over 170 feet (52 meters). This means that their total rotor diameter is longer
Spanning 118 meters, this blade boasts a sweeping area of 45,000 square meters, akin to six soccer fields combined, marking it as the company''s longest and most powerful onshore wind
The medium sized turbines have blades between 215 and 275 feet and are commonly used for community power generation. For large sized turbines, the size of blades on a wind turbine is 280
