REpower Systems AG introduced a turbine of the three-megawatt class with a hub height of 143 meters. With its 114 meter rotor diameter and a rated power of 3.2 megawatts (MW), the REpower 3.2M114 can optimally utilize the potential of low-wind locations.

For the 3.2M114 with a hub height of 143 meters, a hybrid tower made of concrete and steel is used, which is erected in segments. With high hub heights, this process is more economical than with a traditional steel tower. The production principle also allows the turbine to be easily dismantled. At the end of 2010, two type 3.4M104 three-megawatt turbines with a hybrid tower 128 meters in height were first erected as part of the Clauen (Germany) project. A prototype of the 3.2M114 with a hub height of 93 meters and a steel tube tower will first be erected at the end of 2011.
