This is a Vestas V-150 Wind Turbine.
The Diameter of the Turbine is 150 m, its height is well in excess of 200 m.
Those are usually rated at 4 to 6 MW.
18 of the larger ones with a combined installed capacity of 112 MW are planned to be constructed in the Reinhardswald forest in Northern Hessen, Germany.
This 200 km^2 forest is the largest self contained forest of the state, on of the largest forest and least settled parts of Germany.

The large 6 MW V150 Windturbine will in its 25 year life produce a whole 0,3 TWh.
Grohnde is a record holder, in 4 out of its 37 years in operation it was the most productive reactor in the world and in its entire live it produced a whopping 407 TWh of electricity, being the only reactor that produced more than 400 TWh of electricity.
This is an arial shot of Grohnde, with such a turbine layed over it.
Actually it is a slightly smaller one, than those, which will be build in the Reinhardswald.
You need 1 200 Windmills of that type to replace one Grohnde.
