Germany\'s Gicon completes world\'s tallest 365-metre wind turbine
A 365-metre wind turbine billed as the world\'s tallest has been built in Germany, using high-altitude winds to increase power generation. German engineering company Gicon said the turbine in Schipkau, Brandenburg, has a 300-metre hub height and is Germany\'s second-tallest structure. The pilot unit is rated at 3.8 MW, with expected annual generation of about 18 million kWh, enough for 6,000 households. Official operation is planned for November.
