List of most powerful wind turbines

This is a list of the most powerful wind turbines. The list includes wind turbines with a power rating that is within 5 MW of the current most powerful wind turbine that has received customer orders that is at least at the prototype stage. All the most powerful turbines are offshore wind turbines. This list also includes the most powerful onshore wind turbines, although they are relatively small compared to the largest offshore ones.

As of January 2022, the most powerful wind turbine that has received customer orders that is at least at the prototype stage is the 14 MW GE Haliade-X.[1]
