This event marks a starting point in the renewable energy industry. <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/video-tv\/7-paises-con-energia-renovable\/\" data-type=\"video-tv\" data-id=\"150225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renewable energy<\/a>\n<\/strong>It is the <strong>largest offshore wind turbine ever installed<\/strong> in the world, according to its developer, Dongfang Electric Corporation.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First 18 MW offshore wind turbine: the largest in the world<\/h2>\n\n<p>The rotor of this turbine has a <strong>diameter of 260 meters and its swept area exceeds 53,000<\/strong> <strong><sup>m2<\/sup><\/strong>, which is comparable to the size of 7.4 standard soccer fields.

This amount of energy is sufficient to meet the electricity needs of approximately 36,000 homes for a full year.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another important fact is that the implementation of this turbine contributes significantly to the <strong>reduction of coal dependence<\/strong> by saving more than 22,000 tons of standard coal annually and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 59,000 tons per year.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/spanish.xinhuanet.com\/20240605\/d382b938998840b4b6b2a19dbfb3a52d\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spanish.xinhuanet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo: shutterstock<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The installed turbine has a swept area exceeding 53,000 m2, equivalent to the size of 7.4 standard soccer fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8403,"featured_media":162989,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13046],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-163064","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-wind-energy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/163064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/163064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=163064"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=163064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
