GE Vernova booked 1,100MW of onshore wind repower orders in the United States in 2025 as developers look to boost output and extend the lifespan of existing wind farms, the company said.
The projects will use nacelles and drivetrains manufactured at GE Vernova’s Pensacola, Florida facility, where around 20% of workers are veterans, according to its onshore wind business.
All orders were signed last year and are expected to reach commercial operation between 2026 and 2027.
“These significant repower orders underscore the critical role our advanced technology plays in optimizing existing wind assets,” said Uzair Memon, chief commercial officer for GE Vernova’s onshore wind services business.
“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,” he added.
Memon said the projects also support domestic manufacturing and jobs.
“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,” he said.
David Hardy, chief commercial officer for wind at GE Vernova, said repowering plays a key role in improving performance at ageing sites.
“A repower project enables us to rejuvenate a wind farm to increase annual energy production, extend life, and improve project availability,” Hardy said.
“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,” he added.
GE Vernova’s onshore wind business has an installed base of around 59,000 turbines worldwide, representing nearly 120GW of capacity.
