GE Vernova has secured orders to repower 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind capacity in the United States during 2025, reinforcing its position in the repowering segment and supporting domestic manufacturing and job creation. The projects will use nacelles and drivetrains manufactured at the company’s facility in Pensacola, Florida, where around 20% of the workforce consists of military veterans.

All contracts were signed in 2025, and the repowered wind farms are expected to reach commercial operation between 2026 and 2027. The initiative aims to boost energy production, extend the operational life of existing wind assets, and significantly reduce operation and maintenance costs through the deployment of modern, high-capacity components.

According to GE Vernova, repowering enables the rapid deployment of additional capacity by leveraging existing wind sites, contributing to a more abundant, affordable, and secure energy supply while supporting the country’s decarbonization goals.

Uzair Memon, Chief Commercial Officer of GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind Services business, said the new contracts highlight the importance of advanced technology in maximizing the value of existing wind infrastructure. “By deploying our state-of-the-art repower solutions, we enable our customers to increase energy production, enhance asset reliability, lower operational and maintenance costs, and extend the lifespan of their wind farms,” he stated.

David Hardy, Chief Commercial Officer for Wind at GE Vernova, emphasized that repowering plays a key role in revitalizing wind farms and strengthening long-term customer partnerships. “These projects allow us to increase annual energy production, extend asset life, and improve project availability, delivering long-term value to our customers,” he said.

GE Vernova’s onshore wind business currently operates an installed base of approximately 59,000 turbines worldwide, representing nearly 120 GW of installed capacity. With more than two decades of experience, the company continues to expand its portfolio of next-generation turbines, supporting global efforts to accelerate decarbonization through reliable, affordable, and sustainable renewable energy.
