MHI Vestas has developed the first ever 10 MW wind turbine . The V164 - 10.0 MW turbine is based on the company 's 8 MW model . MHI Vestas launched the first 10MW wind turbine in history at the Global Wind Summit in Hamburg today. Moving up to 10 MW meant incorporating a stronger turbine , minor mechanical upgrades and a design alteration to improve water flow and increase cooling in the converter . The new turbine , which will be available for commercial use from 2021 , will be able to run on full power for 25 years , MHI has said .
