GE Vernova's (global energy company) Wind segment has announced agreements to supply 71.5 megawatts of onshore wind turbines to two customers in Germany, marking what the company describes as a significant milestone in its support for the country's energy transition.

The deals, with Muenster-based developer BBWind and renewable energy company Greenvolt Power, were booked in the fourth quarter of 2025 and announced publicly on April 23, 2026.

Two Deals, Two Distinct Relationships

The agreements cover multiple projects across Germany and involve two separate commercial relationships for GE Vernova. The arrangement with BBWind represents the latest chapter in an ongoing collaboration between the two companies.

BBWind specializes in regional community wind projects and is headquartered in Muenster. The partnership between the two companies has been active for some time, with GE Vernova and BBWind having signed their 20th agreement to supply onshore wind turbines to local community wind farms.

The deal with Greenvolt Power is characterized differently. GE Vernova described it as the beginning of a new collaboration and a signal of the company's growing footprint in Germany as a preferred technology partner for large-scale renewable energy developers.

Greenvolt Power is not a new name in GE Vernova's customer base entirely; the company separately announced in December 2025 that it would equip a second Greenvolt onshore wind farm in Romania, but the German agreement represents a new front in that commercial relationship.

Gilan Sabatier, GE Vernova's Chief Commercial Officer for onshore wind in international markets, said the orders demonstrate the trust customers place in the company's turbines.

"These orders for over 70 MWs demonstrate the trust our customers place in our workhorse turbines to deliver reliable, renewable energy," Sabatier said in a statement accompanying the announcement.

Salzbergen Facility at the Center of Supply

GE Vernova's ability to fulfill these agreements rests heavily on its manufacturing presence in Germany. The company operates a 70,000 square meter facility in Salzbergen, which produces machine heads, drive trains, and hubs.

The Salzbergen site serves as a manufacturing hub for customers across Europe and Asia, and GE Vernova positioned it as central to its capacity to deliver locally produced technology for German wind projects.

Sabatier noted the strategic importance of the facility in the context of the new deals. "With our manufacturing hub in Salzbergen, we are uniquely positioned to support Germany's ambitious wind energy goals with locally produced technology," he said.

The turbines involved in the agreements are described by GE Vernova as its workhorse models. The company's Wind segment product portfolio also includes next-generation high-powered turbines, as well as the Haliade-X offshore wind turbine platform, but the German onshore deals center on the established turbine line that has formed the backbone of its international onshore business.

Community Wind at the Core of BBWind's Strategy

Michael Schlüß of BBWind emphasized the importance of community involvement in the company's wind development model, and framed the continued use of GE Vernova technology as consistent with that approach.

"The continued cooperation with GE Vernova is a testament to the reliability and performance of their technology in the community wind sector," Schlüß said. "By expanding our portfolio with these new orders, we continue to ensure that local communities remain at the heart of Germany's energy transition."

BBWind's focus on regional community wind projects distinguishes it from the larger-scale developers that also populate GE Vernova's customer list in Germany.

The Greenvolt (international renewable energy platform) Power arrangement, by contrast, is described in the announcement as involving a large-scale renewable energy developer, reflecting the breadth of GE Vernova's commercial reach within the German market.

Germany's Wind Ambitions Provide the Backdrop

The deals come against the backdrop of Germany's substantial onshore wind expansion. The country installed approximately 4.6 gigawatts of onshore wind capacity in 2025, according to figures cited in GE Vernova's announcement.

Germany has set a national target of generating 80 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2030, a goal that has underpinned a broad acceleration in wind project development across the country.

GE Vernova presented the two new agreements as consistent with its stated commitment to supporting that energy transition. The company has been active in Germany for an extended period and has used its Salzbergen facility as the anchor of its European onshore wind manufacturing strategy.

Scale of GE Vernova's Global Wind Business

The German orders represent a fraction of GE Vernova's broader wind portfolio. The company's Wind segment has a total installed base of approximately 59,000 turbines and more than 120 gigawatts of installed capacity worldwide. GE Vernova describes itself as having served customers in the wind sector for more than two decades.

GE Vernova is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and operates across approximately 100 countries with a workforce of approximately 85,000 employees. Its Wind segment sits alongside Power and Electrification as one of three primary business segments within the company.
