GE Vernova has signed a framework agreement with Forestalia for turbines for 693MW of wind capacity in Spain.
Under the agreement GE Vernova will provide 110 6.1-158MW turbines to be installed in six phases across 16 future project sites in Aragon.
The first phase is already underway, with 33 wind turbines to be installed at five wind farms.
The deal builds on the success of the previous agreement signed in 2016 and expands GE’s largest wind collaboration in Spain.
Vic Abate, Chief Technology Officer, GE, and CEO, GE Vernova’s Wind segment, said, “We are delighted to be extending our ongoing cooperation with the Forestalia team.
“This agreement will bring a significant pipeline of new projects through 2024 in Aragon, a region where we have commissioned more than 1.5GW of wind energy to date.
“We are proud to play a key role in driving Spain’s energy transition effort, and look forward to bringing more renewable, sustainable, and affordable energy to the country.”
Fernando Samper, president of Forestalia, added: “This deal will help us take a further step towards our goal of achieving 1.2GW in operation in Forestalia’s own portfolio, under direct management, for the benefit of the socio-economic development of the territory hosting the projects, and also for a greater decarbonization of the economy.”
The total installation covered by the framework agreement will comprise 33 turbines with 101 metre hub heights and 77 turbines with 120.9 metre hub heights.
All deliveries are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
The partnership between GE and Forestalia reached an important milestone in 2022, with the signature of GE’s first European power purchase agreement (PPA) from the Coto wind farm in Spain, owned by Forestalia.
