Sweden-based Vattenfall said it has installed 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 one rotation, Vattenfall said. The announcement out of Scotland comes just days after Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke proposed offshore wind lease sales for 390,000 acres off the coast of Massachusetts. The company says that its new turbine will be able to generate enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes.
