GE Spinoff to Build Turbines for Western Hemisphere's Largest Wind Project
The SunZia Wind Project, backed by $11 billion in financing from Pattern Energy, is expected to significantly boost the nation's renewable energy output.
- General Electric's spinoff, GE Vernova, will build hundreds of turbines for the SunZia Wind Project, which will be the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere.
- The project, already underway, has attracted significant financial capital and is expected to boost the percentage of the nation's electricity that comes from renewable sources.
- Pattern Energy, a global renewable energy giant, has closed on $11 billion in financing for the projects.
- The SunZia Wind Project will span three counties in rural New Mexico, with the first turbines expected to rise this autumn.
- GE Vernova will tap its factory in Pensacola, Florida, and tower manufacturing operations in New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas for the massive order.
