General Electric (GE) Wins Turbine Deal From European Energy
Read MoreHide Full Article
General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) business unit GE Renewable Energy announced yesterday that it has secured another onshore wind turbine contract from European Energy for three additional wind farms.
Per the latest deal, General Electric will produce, supply and install a total of 34 Cypress wind turbine units at two wind farms located in Telsiai and one in Rokiskis, Lithuania. The turbines carrying a rotor diameter of 158m will be capable of operating at 5.5 MW. The company will work on installing these turbines at three wind farms, which together will have an installed capacity of 187 MW. It expects the installation of the Cypress turbines to get completed in 2022. Also, General Electric will be responsible for providing operational services in these facilities for 25 years.
General Electric’s state-of-the-art Cypress onshore wind turbines will help European Energy cater to consumers’ growing requirements of renewable and sustainable energy. Featuring an improved level of annual energy production, the company’s Cypress onshore wind platform helps its customers reduce the cost of energy.
The latest pact is built on a strong collaboration between both companies. In November 2020, General Electric was awarded a contract by European Energy to produce, supply and install 22 Cypress wind turbine units for three wind farms, based in Lithuania. The installation of the turbines on the projects (announced last November) is expected to get completed in the second half of this year.
With this agreement, European Energy will be able to operate 56 units of the Cypress wind turbine in Lithuania at six wind farms. These wind farms will have a total installed capacity of 308 MW.
