GE Vernova Inc. has commenced deliveries for 88 of its 2.8 MW-127m* workhorse wind turbines for Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Beaver Creek wind farm in Stillwater County, Montana. This project, bagged by GE Vernova in the fourth quarter of 2023, saw its first turbine deliveries in May 2024.
The Beaver Creek Wind Project will have an initial capacity of 248 MW, generating enough energy to power approximately 83,000 homes annually. Construction will generate employment opportunities for 150-200 skilled workers, with 10-15 permanent on-site positions needed for ongoing operations. The project will interconnect with NorthWestern Energy’s system, using existing PSE transmission lines to deliver wind energy to PSE customers.
Stephen Swift, Chief Commercial Officer of GE Vernova Wind, said, “We are pleased to work with Puget Sound Energy to supply their Beaver Creek Wind Project, which takes advantage of Montana’s strong wind profile to help them drive their clean energy transformation. Like Puget Sound Energy, GE Vernova understands the importance of meeting the demand for clean energy while at the same time continuing to deliver safe and reliable energy. Our GE 2.8 MW-127m workhorse turbines are ideally suited to help PSE and other customers meet ambitious clean energy goals.”
“PSE is excited to leverage our experience developing and operating major wind projects and the expertise of GE Vernova, which has been established in the wind business for decades, for delivery of the Beaver Creek Wind Project,” added Jim Hogan, Director of Major Projects at PSE. “Our partnership with GE Vernova on this project helps us as we take another step forward in delivering one of the most ambitious clean energy transformations of any utility in the country.”
