The largest turbine in the world is a whopping 7.5 megawatts. The Enercon E-126 has a rotor diameter of 413 feet and generates enough electricity to power nearly 2,000 American homes with one turbine. The turbine is installed in Emden, Germany. A 6-megawatt offshore turbine was just installed in northern Germany by REpower. In the United States, the largest onshore turbine is a 3-megawatt Vestas V90 turbine in Cloud County, Kan. Sixty-seven of the turbines were installed just this year. The turbines stand 262 feet high, with a rotor 295 feet in diameter.
