GE Vernova wins Taiwan repower contract
GE Vernova has secured its first onshore wind repower upgrade contract outside the United States with a deal to supply 25 repower upgrade kits to Taiwan Power Company, according to the company.
The announcement was made during the B20 South Africa 2025 Summit in Johannesburg, the company said.
GE Vernova said the contract builds on its experience of repowering over 6000 turbines in the United States.
The agreement covers repower upgrade kits for 25 GE Vernova 1.5MW-70.5m turbines and includes a five-year operations and maintenance services package, the company said.
GE Vernova said the order was booked in the third quarter of 2025.
The company added that initial components will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025 with retrofit installation scheduled throughout 2026 and 2027.
GE Vernova said wind repowering enables turbines approaching the end of their designed operational life to be modernised and returned to service with improved reliability and performance.
According to the company, the project will extend turbine life beyond original design life while supporting Taiwan’s decarbonisation and energy security goals.
Uzair Memon, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind Services business, said: “As we bring our proven repowering capabilities to customers outside the U.S. for the first time, we’re proud to work with TPC to support Taiwan’s energy transition.”
He said: “The deal also reinforces how our services capabilities drive lifecycle value for our customers through fleet reliability, technology investment and an integrated global supply chain.”
GE Vernova said the announcement aligns with one of the recommendations of the Energy Mix & Just Transition policy paper released at the B20 Summit.
The company added that Roger Martella, Chief Corporate Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer at GE Vernova, co-chaired the group that developed the policy paper.
