UK: Work on NAREC’s Site Progressing Well

 Work on site is progressing well with major works on Blade Test 2 underway. The Nautilus building which will house a 3MW turbine drive train testing facility, is set to hand over in the Spring. Work has now begun on the latest Fujin project, housing the 15MW turbine drive train testing facility, which is set to complete early next year.
