GE Vernova has been selected by Italian wind developer IVPC Group to repower five wind turbines at its Montefalcone wind farm in Italy.

As part of this repowering project,GE Vernova will provide five units of its 6.1 MW–158m onshore wind turbines.

Repowering involves replacing older units with new,higher-capacity turbines or retrofitting them with more efficient components to increase production while extending the wind farm life.

IVPC Group will lead the maintenance work with engineering support provided by GE Vernova.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2025 and the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

an Sabatier,chief commercial officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets,said:“GE Vernova is proud to have been selected by IVPC Group,a company with a strong trajectory for wind energy in Italy.Utilizing our latest and most powerful onshore wind turbine will increase the wind farm’s energy output and deliver even more affordable and sustainable renewable energy to the country.”

GE Vernova’s onshore wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120GW of installed capacity worldwide.

The company’s Cypress platform is the most widely deployed onshore wind turbine above 5MW outside China.
