Salzbergen, Germany (September 16, 2025) - GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Prokon Regenerative Energien eG to repower a wind farm with eight 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 in the Fleetmark community in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova's Onshore Wind business in International Markets, said, "We are pleased to once again work with Prokon to support their strategy to grow the profitable generation of renewable power and advance Germany's broader renewable energy goals. Repowering existing sites produces more power from current wind farms, strengthening their ability to meet local energy needs in a sustainable manner. With our industrial footprint in Salzbergen, we are well positioned to serve our customer´s needs to grow Germany's onshore wind power production."
Katharina Beyer, Board Member for Project Development at Prokon, added:
"As an energy cooperative, our ambition is to implement projects that are ecologically sound, economically viable, and transparent for the local communities. Our experiences in Friedersdorf and Langenbach have shown that GE Vernova's turbines operate reliably and deliver stable yields. On this basis, we have again chosen this turbine type for our Fleetmark project. For us, what matters is not only the technology itself but also a professional and constructive collaboration throughout the entire planning and construction process. Together, we are laying the foundation to reliably supply our members and customers with clean electricity and therefore make a tangible contribution to the German energy transition."
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.
