Vestas Wind Systems A/S booked a pre-order for what will be the world’s largest wind turbine.

German utility EnBW Energie Baden-Wurttemberg AG is set to be the first customer to use the massive Vestas machine at a project it will build off the coast of Germany, the companies said in a statement. Turbine makers continue to scale up designs to increase efficiency and tap into gusts of wind in a greater area.
