GEV Secures First Onshore Wind Repower Upgrade Contract Outside the US With Taiwan Power Company

  • First GE Vernova wind repower upgrade contract outside the United States, following over 6,000 turbines repowered in the United States
  • Announcement made during the B20 South Africa 2025 Summit in Johannesburg
  • Repower upgrade kits for 25 GE Vernova 1.5 MW-70.5m turbines for Taiwan Power Company (TPC), plus a five-year operations and maintenance services agreement
  • Extends turbine operating life beyond original design life, supporting Taiwan's decarbonization and energy security goals

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced its first onshore wind repower upgrade agreement outside the United States, signing with Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to supply 25 repower upgrade kits in Taiwan. The announcement was made during the B20 South Africa 2025 Summit in Johannesburg. The milestone international contract builds on GE Vernova’s track record of repowering over 6,000 wind turbines in the United States, extending that expertise to support Taiwan’s decarbonization goals.

Under the agreement, GE Vernova will provide repower upgrade kits to repower 25 GE Vernova 1.5 MW-70.5m turbines and deliver a five-year operations and maintenance (O&M) services package. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2025. Initial components are scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025, with retrofit installation taking place throughout 2026 and 2027.

Wind repowering enables turbines approaching the end of their designed operational life to be modernized and returned to service with improved reliability and performance. By extending asset life beyond original design life, the project will help TPC continue generating affordable, renewable electricity while maximizing existing infrastructure.
