• The company is also working to obtain certification for the low-temperature version of the turbine for use in the United States and Canada, and is in the process of certifying its 4.5 MW (G10X) system

Gamesa has received certification for its G90 Class II wind turbine from GL Renewables Certification (GL), one of the world’s leading wind energy industry certification bodies.

As part of the certification process, the turbine passed a product design review, a power curve test and verification of the load assumptions by prototype measurements, in accordance with GL2003 certification guidelines. Gamesa certifies its wind energy systems and wind turbines with accredited certification bodies such as GL.

This process allows the company to convey to the market and financial institutions, through the opinion of an independent third party, the integrity of its products’ design, development, manufacturing and construction.

The company has obtained GL 2003 certification for its G5X and G8X systems, and is currently working to gain certification for the low-temperature version of the G90 turbine for use in the US and Canada. Similarly, it is in the process of gaining certification for its latest design, the Gamesa G10X 4.5 MW platform.
