Forestalia president Fernando Samper stated: “Enormous satisfaction with this new agreement, which reinforces the intense collaboration between GE and Forestalia shown over all these years.
“This deal will help us take a further step towards our goal of achieving 1.2GW in operation in Forestalia’s own portfolio, under direct management, for the benefit of the socioeconomic development of the territory hosting the projects, and also for a greater decarbonisation of the economy.”
All deliveries are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
In early December 2023, GE Vernova was awarded a contract by the Indian renewable energy producer O2 Power to deliver 36 turbines for a 97MW wind farm in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
GE Vernova agreed to supply, install and commission 36 2.7-132 onshore wind turbines.
The wind farm will be commissioned in phases and completed in early 2025.
