Featuring a blade length of 64.5m and a rotor diameter of 132m, the G132-5.0MW wind turbine can generate 3% more power than the G128-5.0MW.
Designed with redundant modules, the turbine guarantees reliable performance and improves energy output, thus streamlining the cost of energy.
The turbine, which can stand out for its light weight, can also reduce the cost of related wind farm civil engineering work.
Additionally, the new offshore wind turbine is capable of generating enough energy to supply 5,000 households a year.
The company marked another milestone in its offshore strategy while extending its product range with the launch of the new turbine.
The turbine certification is expected to be completed in 2015.
Meanwhile, Gamesa has signed an agreement in principle with Areva to fully develop offshore strategy to create a leading European player in the offshore wind energy sector.
