GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business will supply wind turbines to Squadron Energy to cover 1400MW of onshore wind projects in New South Wales, Australia.
The agreement, which was received in the fourth quarter of 2023, was publicly confirmed following a sod turning ceremony earlier this month.
As part of the agreement, Squadron Energy entered into a $2.75bn green strategic alliance for wind turbine supply with GE Vernova.
Through the alliance, GE Vernova will supply Squadron Energy’s 414MW Uungula wind farm with GE Vernova’s 6MW wind turbines and engineering, procurement and construction expertise through its consortium partners CCP, and will also supply turbines for Squadron Energy’s next two NSW projects – Spicers Creek and Jeremiah wind farms.
All three projects will utilize GE Vernova’s 6.0-164 workhorse turbine which will enable the standardisation of grid and project execution elements across the portfolio.
Both Jeremiah Wind Farm and Spicers Creek Wind Farm will be constructed under a split-scope delivery model, which will unlock additional project value.
The Uungula Wind Farm will include 69 of GE Vernova’s 6.0-164 wind turbines and a five-year, full-service agreement with GE. Construction will commence in the first quarter of 2024.
Vic Abate, CEO of GE Vernova’s Wind business, said “This deal is the culmination of a strong partnership between the GE and Squadron teams built over several years across multiple projects. We are delighted to continue working together across a portfolio of projects in New South Wales, to bring reliable and affordable wind energy to the region.”
