Project to use GE Vernova's manufacturing facility in Salzbergen
GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today (Sept 17) that it has signed an agreement with Enertrag to provide seven 6MW-164m turbines produced at its factory in Salzbergen, Germany. The deal was booked in the second quarter of 2025. The workhorse turbines will be installed at the Bonacker wind farm in Nordrhein-Westfalen in western Germany.
The deal is the second new order in Germany that the company announced at the Husum Wind Fair, following an order for Prokon made public yesterday.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova's Onshore Wind business in International Markets, said, "We are pleased to have the opportunity to once again support Enertrag as they work to bring online more wind power in support of their efforts to advance the energy transition. The latest project builds on our long-standing relationship and reflects the value they see in our workhorse product strategy. Drawing on our industrial footprint in Salzbergen, we are well positioned to execute that strategy as we work to meet Enertrag's needs and those of other customers in Germany."
Bastian Altrichter, Senior Vice President Procurement ENERTRAG SE, said, "The Bonacker project marks an important milestone for ENERTRAG in North Rhine-Westphalia and demonstrates the value of investing beyond our traditional regions. We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with GE Vernova to further advance the energy transition. Building on our shared experience, we look forward to a smooth project execution and are confident that the new turbines will contribute significantly to a reliable and sustainable energy supply."
GE Vernova's Wind segment has a strong manufacturing presence in Germany with a 70,000 square meter facility in Salzbergen that manufactures machine heads, drive trains, and hubs for the workhorse turbines it provides to customers in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and Asia.
Germany installed approximately 3.2 GW of onshore wind in 2024 and is expected to accelerate the development of onshore wind as part of its plan to get up to 80 percent of its power from renewable energy resources by 2030.
GE Vernova has a total installed base of approximately 57,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Committed to its customers' success for more than two decades, its product portfolio offers the next-generation high-powered turbines at scale that drives decarbonization through high-quality, affordable, and sustainable renewable energy.
*Note to Editors: GE Vernova's 6 MW turbine with a 164-meter rotor is what we refer to as the 6MW-164m.
