GE Renewable Energy has been selected by German developer WPD to supply 16 onshore wind turbines to three wind farms.
The projects are to be built in Landkreis Uelzen, Niedersachsen, 100km south-east of Hamburg.
With a total installed capacity of 88MW, the three projects will operate GE’s 5.5MW turbines with a rotor diameter of 158m.
The agreement also includes a 15-year full-service contract with an extension option of another five years.
The three wind farms are located within a radius of 20km.
Two projects, Bankewitz and Müssingen, are expected to be commissioned and operational by the end of 2023 while the third one called Flinten is scheduled in the first quarter of 2024.
Together, the three wind farms will produce enough power to supply electricity to the equivalent of about 90,000 households per year.
WPD chief operations officer Dr Hartmut Brösamle said: “With GE, we have an experienced partner at our side, with whom we have already been able to realize a number of projects.
“Our Bankewitz, Müssingen and Flinten wind farms are three further exciting and important projects in the German market for which construction is about to start.
“We can build on a promising project pipeline with which we will continue to drive forward the expansion of German onshore wind energy.”
GE’s most powerful onshore wind platform includes turbines with power ratings between 4.8MW and 6.1MW, 158-metre and 164-metre rotor diameters, and various hub heights.
Since the introduction of the 4.8MW to 6.1MW onshore wind fleet in 2017, GE Renewable Energy has received nearly 9GW of orders and amassed more than four million operating hours globally.
