At the end of 2019, worldwide renewable energy
generation capacity reached
2537 Gigawatts
1 gigawatt is enough to power 110 million LEDs or just about the power generated by 1.3 million horses
Wind and solar power increase to lead the way as green renewable energy powers more and more of our lives.

The Haliad-X offshore wind turbine generates more power at lower wind speeds generating more Annual Energy Production (AEP) than any other offshore wind turbine in the world. It is currently the most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation.
Clean energy factor*
A Haliad wind turbine yearly energy generation capacity in equivalent to traditional forms of energy generation saves the earth from 52,000 metric tons of CO2 production every year, the equivalent of CO2 emmited by 11,000 vehicles every year.
