GE Vernova signed multiple wind agreements in Spain during Q2 2024. These projects will support Spain’s renewable energy targets and continue to contribute to the Spanish wind industry. In Spain, GE Vernova has the second highest installed base across original equipment manufacturers, according to the Spanish Wind Energy Association.
For the third time, ERBI has selected GE Vernova for two wind farms in Castilla León, where GE Vernova also has a blade manufacturing facility. GE Vernova will supply and commission a total of 16 units of the company’s 6.1 MW turbine with a 158-meter rotor (6.1 MW-158m) to the Casa Vieja wind farm and the Pedrejones wind farm, with eight turbines going to each project. Deliveries are expected to start at the end of this year.
GE Vernova will repower one wind farm in Catalonia, Spain, which is also home to one of GE Vernova’s engineering centers of excellence. Les Colladetes wind farm will be upgraded with six of GE Vernova’s 6.1 MW-158M wind turbines. In addition, GE Vernova will provide two new turbines of the same size to the wind farm.
GE Vernova will supply, install, and commission five units of GE Vernova’s 6.1 MW-158m for the Barranco del Agua windfarm located in Andalucia, Spain. This marks GE Vernova’s first order with the company.
“We are honored to be entrusted with helping to bring more wind power online in Spain, supporting our customers’ efforts to drive the acceleration of the energy transition,” said Gilan Sabatier, chief commercial officer for GE Vernova’s onshore wind business in international markets. “These projects will take advantage of GE Vernova’s strong presence in the country where the company already has more than 4.3 GW in operation, an engineering center of excellence in Barcelona, and two wind turbine blade production factories. These agreements reinforce how we can use our workhorse product strategy to provide our customers with proven technology that enables them to build high-quality, high-performance fleets at scale to meet the demands of the energy transition.”
GE Vernova’s onshore wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. The company’s Cypress platform is the most widely deployed onshore wind turbine above 5MW outside China.
