GE Vernova has begun delivering turbines for 248MW wind project in Montana, the US.
GE Vernova’s 2.8MW 127m turbines are being installed at Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Beaver Creek wind farm in Stillwater County.
The project is expected to use an estimated 150-200 skilled workers during construction with an expected ongoing need for 10-15 permanent on-site workers during operation.
The project will interconnect on NorthWestern Energy’s system and will use existing PSE transmission lines to bring wind energy to PSE customers.
Stephen Swift, Chief Commercial Officer of GE Vernova Wind, said: “We are pleased to work with Puget Sound Energy to supply their Beaver Creek Wind Project, which takes advantage of Montana’s strong wind profile to help them drive their clean energy transformation.
“Like Puget Sound Energy, GE Vernova understands the importance of meeting the demand for clean energy while at the same time continuing to deliver safe and reliable energy.
“Our GE 2.8MW-127m workhorse turbines are ideally suited to help PSE and other customers meet ambitious clean energy goals.”
Jim Hogan, Director of Major Projects at PSE, added: “PSE is excited to leverage our experience developing and operating major wind projects and the expertise of GE Vernova, which has been established in the wind business for decades, for delivery of the Beaver Creek Wind Project.
“Our partnership with GE Vernova on this project helps us as we take another step forward in delivering one of the most ambitious clean energy transformations of any utility in the country.”
