GE Renewable Energy has secured a 753MW turbine order for the Onusberget wind project in Sweden which is being developed by Luxcara.
Onusberget will be equipped with 137 of GE’s Cypress onshore wind turbines, each with a capacity of 5.5MW and a 158 metre rotor.
The project is divided into sub-parks Kallamossen and Djupdal.
Independent asset manager Luxcara has already started infrastructure work at the wind farm while GE Renewable Energy is expected to start installation in the summer of 2021.
GE Renewable Energy will also service the turbines for 25 years.
This is GE Renewable Energy’s largest turbine contract in Europe and the largest for its Cypress onshore wind turbines.
Luxcara managing partner Alexandra von Bernstorff said: “We are proud to work with GE to build Europe’s largest onshore wind farm in the resource-rich north of Sweden.
“We were among the first to enter the Nordic wind market back in 2015 and this project re-affirms our position as the region’s largest long-term investor in the sector.”
GE Renewable Energy president and CEO Jerome Pecresse added: “We are delighted to have been selected by Luxcara to partner to the largest ever single onshore wind farm to be built in Europe.
“The Onusberget wind farm marks our continuous commitment to the Swedish onshore wind market, extends our presence in Europe and confirms the confidence of our customers in Cypress, our most powerful onshore wind platform.”
