GE Vernova has inked a framework pact with Forestalia to deploy up to 693 MW of onshore wind turbines across 16 future sites in Spain’s Aragon region.
The agreement involves installing 110 GE 6.1-158 turbines in six phases near Zaragoza, with the first phase already underway, continuing and expanding their significant wind collaboration in Spain. All 110 turbines, a mix of 101M and 120.9M hub heights, will be delivered by the end of 2024.
Speaking about this development, Vic Abate, Chief Technology Officer, GE, and CEO, GE Vernova’s Wind segment, said, “We are delighted to be extending our ongoing cooperation with the Forestalia team. This agreement will bring a significant pipeline of new projects through 2024 in Aragon, a region where we have commissioned more than 1.5 GW of wind energy to date. We are proud to play a key role in driving Spain’s energy transition effort, and look forward to bringing more renewable, sustainable, and affordable energy to the country.”
Fernando Samper, president of Forestalia, noted his “enormous satisfaction with this new agreement, which reinforces the intense collaboration between GE and Forestalia shown over all these years.” “This deal will help us take a further step towards our goal of achieving 1.2 GW in operation in Forestalia’s own portfolio, under direct management, for the benefit of the socio-economic development of the territory hosting the projects, and also for a greater decarbonization of the economy,” added Fernando Samper.
