GE has been selected to deliver three of its turbines to a 73MW Chinese demonstration project, expanding the reach of the US company’s offshore wind offering to Asia.
GE will provide the three 6MW Haliade 150 machines to the Fujian Xinghua Gulf development, which will utilize turbines from a number of different suppliers.
The contract includes the provision of technical support and two years of operation and maintenance services.
Installation is expected to take place during the last quarter of 2017, GE said.
“When finished, GE will be the only supplier in the world to have installed offshore wind turbines in the Americas, Europe and Asia, and we are looking forward to continue a successful offshore journey in China and Asia,” GE offshore wind president John Lavelle said.
The demonstration project is being developed by Chinese Fuqing Haixia Generation Company, a joint venture between China Three Gorges and Fujian Energy.
