Spain's Nabrawind Technologies has installed a 160-metre prototype steel wind turbine tower in the north of the country. Nabrawind said the tower, dubbed Nabralift, is the world's tallest onshore steel tower, and is less costly than alternatives because it requires no specialist transportation and assembly equipment. Nabralift will face fatigue load tests to demonstrate its 25-year operating life, while Nabrawind aims to install up to seven other towers, between 135 metres and 200 metres high, by next year.
