"The world’s largest wind turbine has smashed the record for the most power
produced by a single turbine in a day.

Offshore from Fujian Province, China, the giant Goldwind GWH252-16MW towers
above the sea.

On 1 September, the mammoth turbine - which has a 252-metre diameter - produced
384.1 megawatt hours (MWh) in 24 hours, as a typhoon hammered southeast China.

This is enough to power roughly 170,000 homes, or 38 million LEDs, or 2.2
million kilometres driven in an electric car.

It exceeds the previous record of 364 MWh, set in Denmark in August."
