GE to supply 180 onshore turbines for ENGIE projects in Oklahoma and South Dakota

By WPED Staff | November 13, 2019

GE Renewable Energy has been selected by ENGIE North America to supply 180 onshore wind turbines for two wind projects. The agreements include 88 2.8-127 turbines for the King Plains wind project in Oklahoma, and 92 2.7-116 turbines for the first phase of the Triple H Wind project in South Dakota.

Construction on the projects began this year, and both projects are expected to reach commercial operation in the second half of 2020. With these latest projects, ENGIE North America has contracted with GE Renewable Energy for 885 MW of new wind turbines in the past year, demonstrating a strong effort towards expanding renewable energy in the United States.

Vikas Anand, GE Renewable Energy’s CEO for Onshore Wind, Americas, said, “We’re delighted to partner with ENGIE on these projects. Our best-selling 2MW turbines are a great fit for Engie’s needs, and we’re proud to help bring additional clean, affordable, renewable energy to their customers in Oklahoma and South Dakota.”

The US wind market remains strong. According to the American Wind Energy Association, the second quarter of 2019 saw a record wind capacity of nearly 42 GW under construction or in advanced development, a 10% increase over the level of activity this time last year.

GE Renewable Energy was recognized by AWEA as the top manufacturer of wind turbines in the United States in 2018, supplying over 3 GW of capacity, or 40% of the total onshore wind energy installed nationwide in 2018.

    Industrial wind energy…. destroying the northern plains via taxpayer funded subsidies. Unreliable, intermittent, short term energy that uses up rare earth minerals. Warren Buffet is bright enough to admit without the subsidies Big Wind doesn’t make sense. Also dangerous to people when setback distances are less than a mile from a family home. Infrasound, low frequency noise are dangerous….shadow flicker causes misery.
