Spain to Build World’s Largest Wind Turbine

The project, named Azimut, finds Gamesa working with 11 other wind and engineering firms as well as 22 research centers. The supermassive turbine is rumoured to cost €25 million ($33.3 million) and it will be built using 100% Spanish technology. The main partners and participating firms in the development are Alstom Wind, Acciona Windpower, Iberdrola Renovables and Acciona Energía.
