Boston-based independent wind energy company, First Wind, has selected GE as its service provider for the company’s fleet of 264 GE wind turbines at eight sites across the United States. The eight-year service agreement expands upon existing contracts with First Wind, and is the first contract to cover an entire fleet of wind turbines signed by GE to date.
GE’s agreement with First Wind will include operations, parts, and on-site support including a maintenance package. First Wind will benefit from GE’s latest offerings, including WindBOOST, a way to increase wind turbine production, Winter Ice Operations Mode, which lets turbines recapture production in colder climates, and a service agreement on wind-turbine drive trains. GE also will provide an availability guarantee at First Wind’s wind sites in Maine, Utah, and Hawaii.
