I thought 15MW+ was a done deal. China beginning to take a lead here though. A couple of Chinese firms boast 18MW prototypes I believe. Don't think any of the European manufacturer are there yet. Might be some leapfrogging going on of course.

State of the art in the "West" is Vestas with a 15MW machine now. GE has a 13MW upgrade version of their 12MW machine
Globally, China have a 16MW machine in testing and the same manufacturer has unveiled an 18MW prototype.

This article has a great pic of a blade for a 15MW monster being moved by road, that's so, so long. Check out the way it goes around (or doesn't go around) a roundabout!

Ooh f@@rk, too much wind, too many wind projects amidst energy poverty & supply uncertainty, ..tax that wind for producing too much of the clean stuff

You couldn't make it up!

If that's, will we have a new record ? :lol:

I doubt it as although there might be enough wind resource, there looks to be too little demand (its a Sunday) to bust another one. But it will drop the gas burning to very low levels.
