GE Vernova booked 1100MW of US onshore wind repower orders in 2025 as developers look to boost output and extend the life of existing fleets.
The projects will use nacelles and drive trains manufactured at the company’s Pensacola, Florida facility, where about 20% of workers are veterans, said GE Vernova’s onshore wind business.
All orders were signed last year and are expected to reach commercial operation between 2026 and 2027, according to the company.
Uzair Memon, chief commercial officer for GE Vernova’s onshore wind services business, said: “These significant repower orders underscore the critical role our advanced technology plays in optimizing existing wind assets.”
He added: “By deploying our state-of-the-art repower solutions, we enable our customers to achieve increased energy production, significantly enhance asset reliability, reduce operational and maintenance costs, and extend the overall lifespan of their wind farms.”
Memon stated: “This directly aligns with our commitment to making existing renewable infrastructure more productive and sustainable for the long term, while also bolstering U.S. manufacturing and job creation.”
David Hardy, chief commercial officer for wind at GE Vernova, said: “A repower project enables us to rejuvenate a wind farm to increase annual energy production, extend life, and improve project availability.”
He added: “These projects are rooted in deep, long-term customer partnerships, where we work closely together to provide solutions that maximize performance and long-term value.”
GE Vernova’s onshore wind business has an installed base of around 59,000 turbines with nearly 120GW of capacity worldwide.
