GE Vernova Secures 16.5 MW Wind Turbine Order in Germany
GE Vernova will supply three 5.5 MW-158m wind turbines to Stadtwerke Heidenheim AG for the Schlotberg-Jüchsen wind farm in Germany. The order includes a 20-year service agreement and marks the sixth project between the companies.
The turbines will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s Salzbergen factory. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in August 2027, with commissioning in December 2027. The order will bring Stadtwerke Heidenheim’s GE Vernova turbine fleet to 74 MW of capacity in Germany.
The project adds wind generation capacity, while infrastructure requirements are examined in PST’s article, “Can Renewables & Battery Storage be More Competitive with Oil & Gas Plants?” Network considerations are explored in “Transmission Grid Capacity: The Problem Nobody Is Talking About.”
“Given the project’s complex history and rigorous statutory deadlines, our primary goal was to secure a partner capable of guaranteeing rapid delivery and execution,” said Raphael Kaim, Head of Renewable Energy at Stadtwerke Heidenheim.
