Sweden - based Vattenfall said it has built the world 's most powerful wind turbine . The 8.8 MW facility sited off the Scottish coast is capable of powering an " average UK home for a day ” with constant rotation , Vattenfall said . “The trend of uprating is symptomatic of the offshore wind market in Europe, as developers push to take advantage of the favorable wind resources,” said Lassen. Soren Lassen , a business analyst at renewables research company Energy Consulting , said the new turbines are rivalled in productivity by those of MHI Vestas , which has been taking orders for a 9.5-MW version of its own model .
