- 17 GE Vernova 6.1 MW turbines to deliver one of Italy’s largest wind projects awarded in the December 2025 GSE auction
- Project builds on the Monfalcone development, strengthening GE Vernova’s long-term relationship with IVPC Group
- Two-piece blade technology and flexible O&M model enable deployment in complex Italian sites
GE Vernova Inc. has been selected by one of the leading national operators in the field of renewable energy IVPC Group, one of the leading national operators in the field of renewable energy, to provide 17 units of its 6.1 MW-158m onshore wind turbines for a new wind farm in Fortore, Benevento, Italy. The over 100 megawatts (MW) project was one of the largest wind farms awarded during an auction held by Italy’s energy agency, Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), in December 2025.
As part of the agreement, which was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025, GE Vernova is expected to provide a customized Operations and Maintenance (O&M) solution where IVPC and GE Vernova will collaborate on the delivery of the transactional maintenance activities. Deliveries for the 17 turbines are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2027.
The Fortore wind farm will utilize GE Vernova’s 6 MW workhorse platform, featuring two-piece blade technology. This configuration is specifically engineered to improve transportability and enable access to complex sites, while maximizing energy production.
This new Fortore order follows a key milestone in GE Vernova’s collaboration with IVPC Group: the recent installation of the first Cypress 6.1 MW wind turbine in Italy at IVPC’s Montefalcone wind farm. The installation marks the start of a multi-turbine repowering project, with up to five turbines being upgraded to significantly increase output and extend the life of the existing wind farm. Together, the repowering at Montefalcone and the Fortore greenfield project underscore the strength of GE Vernova’s long-term collaboration with IVPC Group and its growing role in supporting Italy’s renewable energy and repowering ambitions.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets, said: 'We are honored to extend our collaboration with IVPC Group on the Fortore wind farm. The project strengthens our presence in the country and our commitment to the European energy transition, while highlighting how our 6.1 MW–158m technology gives operators a competitive edge in auctions through large-scale, sustainable energy delivery. We look forward to continuing our strong collaboration with IVPC as we support Italy’s energy transition goals.'
Oreste Vigorito, Owner and President of the IVPC Group said: 'Building on the success of the Monfalcone project, we continue to choose GE Vernova for the flexibility of its service model—allowing us to lead transactional maintenance—and for its advanced split-blade technology, which enables deployment in locations with logistical constraints.'
