The Nowy Tomyśl Wind Turbines are wind turbines which used to be the tallest in the world.[1] They are situated in Paproć, a village near Nowy Tomyśl in Poland and were erected in 2012. Each of these two wind turbines has a generating capacity of 2500 kW. Both rotors have a diameter of 100 metres and are mounted on 160 metre tall free-standing lattice towers, which are the tallest free-standing lattice towers in Poland.

The basement of each of these turbines weighs 1500 tons, the tower 350 tons and the gondola 100 tons.
