GE Vernova’s Wind segment has signed agreements to supply three of its 6.0 MW-164m* workhorse wind turbines to community wind farms consulted by BBWind. BBWind is a wind farm developer based in Muenster, Germany, consulting on regional community wind projects. This is the 20th agreement that the two companies have signed for projects being developed by BBWind.

The deals, which were booked in the first quarter of 2025, will support the two turbine 12 MW wind farm in Heiden and the 6 MW Dorsten project in the North Rhine-Westphalia region in Western Germany.

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 looking 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.

Gilan Sabatier, GE Vernova’s Chief Commercial Officer for onshore wind, international markets said, 'We are pleased to have the opportunity to support BBWind in their efforts to develop community-led wind farms in communities close to our manufacturing facility in Salzbergen. Our workhorse turbines are ideally suited to meet the needs of Germany’s rapidly growing onshore wind sector and our teams in Salzbergen are ready to contribute to the country’s ambitious wind energy goals.'

Michael Schluess, CEO BBWind, said, 'We are pleased by the close cooperation with our partner GE Vernova, who over the last years has a key contributor to the successful implementation of the locally owned community wind farms of our customers. Besides the 20 projects already implemented or under construction, we are looking forward to continuing our close cooperation with further projects in the coming years.'

GE Vernova's Wind segment has a total installed base of approximately 57,000 turbines and more than 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.

* GE Vernova’s 6.0 MW turbine with a 164 meter rotor is what we refer to as the 6.0MW-164m.
