The Front CoverThe highest wind turbine in the world. The FL 2500/2.5MW turbine, manufactured by Furhländer, and developed by the engineers of W2E Wind-to-Energy on the 160m SeeBA world-record tower, will now produce green energy. It is situated at Laasow, about 20km west of Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany. The estimated output of about 7 million kWh corresponds to the consumption of about 1,800 four-person households. The hub height means it can reach steady and regular winds.
