GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business has signed a new equipment and long-term services agreement with the US project developer Pattern Energy to supply 674 3.6-154 wind turbines (nearly 2.4 GW in combined capacity) for the 3.5 GW SunZia Wind project in the US State of New Mexico. The order comes as the largest single onshore wind turbine order ever received by GE Vernova, both in terms of quantity of turbines and gigawatts of power generation, upon completion. The SunZia project is expected to be the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere at over 3.5 GW in total project size. The Danish turbine manufacturer Vestas will provide the remaining 1.1 GW portion of the project with 242 of its V163-4.5 MW turbine.
Pattern’s SunZia onshore wind project is being developed simultaneously with the 885 km, 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) SunZia transmission line that will link central New Mexico and southern Arizona.
