GE Renewable Energy announced today (9/11) an agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to provide its technology and services capabilities to power the Monegros onshore wind portfolio in Aragon. The project, which consists of nine wind farms distributed within two clusters, is the first between the two companies and will benefit from GE Renewable Energy's local capabilities in operations, manufacturing, services and digital monitoring.
The first phase, totaling 113 MW will be powered by 30 GE 3 MW onshore wind turbines, with a hub height of 85 meters and a rotor diameter of 130 meters. The 60 GE 3.8 and 3.4 turbines will be produced at GE's Renewable Energy site in Salzbergen, Germany; while the blades will be manufactured in Spain at GE's LM Wind Power sites in Castellon and Ponferrada.
Peter Wells, Onshore Wind CEO for Europe and SSA at GE Renewable Energy said, "we are thrilled to be working with CIP on our first project together and to install some of GE's most powerful wind technology at Monegros. Spain continues to be a fundamental hub for innovation and growth for GE Renewable Energy, and our extensive local capabilities will allow us to continue powering Aragon and Spain with reliable clean energy for many years to come."
