The purpose of the report, which the firms have released annually since 1999 in conjunction with Dow Jones Indexes, is to establish a global ranking of the companies most committed to sustainability that also offer the greatest real upside potential for all shareholders, not just for investors most concerned with sustainability.

Support for Gamesa's offshore technology


Gamesa is currently designing and developing two families of offshore turbines (G11X-5.0, and G14X with a capacity of 6-7 MW) based on proven technology that was validated in the G10X-4.5 MW turbine.

Prototypes of the G11X-5.0 MW platform will be tested in the last quarter of 2012, and the pre-series will be ready in 2013.

Michael Lewis, Managing Director of E.ON’s European Renewables business:
"Gamesa shows a strong commitment to the offshore market, and this agreement will enable us to analyse and test a prototype which, though new, is based on technology currently tested on the G10X-4.5 prototype machine. It will also help us to continue our drive to stimulate innovation in the offshore market".

Gamesa is developing the G11X-5.0 MW turbine platform together with the Northrop Grumman Corporation, a leading US defence contractor and America's largest shipbuilder.

Gamesa is also developing a generation of larger capacity offshore turbines, specifically the G14X (6-7 MW per unit); the pre-series could be ready in 2014.


G128-4.5 MW: validated technological innovation


Gamesa's G128-4.5 MW is the most powerful turbine in the global onshore wind market and it incorporates unprecedented new technological features, based on design and validation concepts which are comparable to other industries such as aeronautics: Innoblade®, Multismart®, ConcreTower®, CompacTrain®, FlexiFit® and GridMate®, among others.

With a rated capacity of 4.5 MW, this model has an optimized cost of energy but is as easy to ship and install as a 2 MW turbine.
