List of most powerful wind turbines

Short description: None

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.
