General Electric (GE) Clinches Turbines & Services Deal in Spain
Read MoreHide Full Article
General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) business unit GE Renewable Energy recently secured an onshore wind turbine contract from Saudi Arabia’s Alfanar Group for a group of wind farms based in Spain’s Navarre region. The financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.
General Electric’s share price declined 0.2% yesterday, eventually closing the trading session at $89.91.
Inside the Headlines
The deal will involve General Electric producing, supplying and installing 15 units of 3.X-4.0 MW wind turbines at the wind farms near Miranda de Arga and Berbinzana municipalities. As noted, the turbines will carry a rotor diameter of 137m. The company will work on installing these turbines at the wind farms, which will have a total installed capacity of 53 MW. It expects the turbines to get operational in 2023. Also, the company will be responsible for providing operational service in the facilities for 15 years. This will help Alfanar cater to consumers’ growing requirements for renewable and sustainable energy in the region.
The latest contract is a testimony to the growing popularity of General Electric’s onshore wind turbine platform. Designed to operate at variable speeds, the company’s 3 MW wind turbines feature a higher efficiency in serviceability and an improved level of annual energy production, thus delivering significant value to its customers.
The latest pact is built on a strong collaboration between both companies. This marks the company’s second project with Alfanar related to the onshore wind platform in Spain.
Zacks Rank, Price Performance and Estimate Trend
General Electric currently has a market capitalization of $99.1 billion and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The company stands to benefit from product innovation, solid contract wins, expansion in the digital business and actions to restructure its portfolio. However, supply-chain constraints and inflationary pressure are worrying.
