Gigawatt-Scale Repower Orders Position GE Vernova to Meet Soaring US Energy Demand

- Projects support US manufacturing jobs in US factories
- In the wake of a doubling of energy demand, repowering will help meet the increasing needs in the US and support abundant, affordable US energy
- Repowering extends the life of existing wind turbines and technical upgrades improve energy production from existing wind farms

GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business announced that it received orders in 2024 to repower over 1 gigawatt of wind turbines in the U.S. The projects will use nacelles and drive trains manufactured in the U.S. at GE Vernova’s Pensacola, Florida facility, where approximately 20 percent of the workforce are veterans, to support U.S. energy abundancy, affordability, and security.

“As the United States works to meet the doubling of projected demand for more energy, repower projects like these help U.S. workers in U.S. factories take advantage of what we already have, where we already have it. Employees in our Pensacola facility and at the locations of partners across the supply chain are working to help us get the most out of our valuable energy assets already in the ground,” said Matt Lynch, General Manager of Repower at GE Vernova.

The orders were booked between the first and fourth quarters of 2024. These repower projects are expected to reach their commercial operation date between 2024 and 2027. The technical benefits of repowering are clear: Repowering increases the size, output, and longevity of existing turbines to capture more reliable renewable energy for a longer period of time. On a repowered project, older units are replaced with new, higher capacity turbines.

Vinayak Tilak, GM, Wind Services Operations, GE Vernova, said, “A repower project enables us to rejuvenate a wind farm to produce more annual energy production, extend life, and improve project availability.”

GE Vernova's Onshore wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Committed to its customers' success for more than two decades, its product portfolio offers the next-generation high-powered turbines at scale that drives decarbonization through high-quality, more affordable, and sustainable renewable energy.
