Under the agreement, GE will supply Invenergy with 750MW of wind turbines for North American projects to be constructed in 2010. In January 2008, GE announced a similar agreement of more than $1 billion to provide wind turbines to Invenergy for US and European projects to be built in 2009.
With this order, Invenergy will have completed in excess of 3,500MW of wind power projects in North America and Europe by 2010. Additionally, Invenergy has approximately 2,700MW of natural gas-fueled power plants currently in construction or operation.
Victor Abate, GE Energy’s vice president of renewables, said: As these agreements demonstrate, the demand for wind energy continues to grow at a record pace. It is clear that abundant, reliable, carbon-free wind power will continue to play a key role in the energy future of this country.
