GE’s Haliade wind turbines are also used in the first U.S. offshore wind farm, Block Island Wind off the coast of Rhode Island.

GE Renewable Energy says it has successfully installed the first of three GE Haliade 150, 6-MW offshore wind turbines for the Fujian Xinghua Gulf demo project.

This is a milestone for GE, which has become the only offshore wind supplier to have wind turbines in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

In March 2017, GE  Renewable  Energy  was  selected  by  Chinese  Fuqing  Haixia Electricity  Generation  Company  (a  joint  venture  between  China  Three  Gorges  and  Fujian Energy) to deliver three Haliade of its 150, 6-MW offshore  wind  turbines  to  the  Fujian  Xinghua Gulf  demo  project.

GE is one of several wind-turbine suppliers  participating  in  the 73-MW wind-farm project, which is capable providing enough power  to satisfy more than 20,000 households in the region.

The three nacelles and generators where manufactured at GE’s Offshore Wind facility in Saint-Nazaire (France), whereas towers  and blades where manufactured locally in  Chengxi and Denmark respectively.

The company said it will move forward with the installation of the next two wind turbines over the few days, while its local teams start the commissioning works.
