GE Renewable Energy and China Huaneng Group Co. have signed an agreement at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) to build a 715-megawatt wind farm in Puyang, Henan Province, China.
This record deal represents GE’s largest-ever wind order in Asia, as well as the single-largest onshore wind deal ever awarded to a non-Chinese wind turbine generator OEM in China.
For China Huaneng and the Henan province, this world-class low-wind-speed wind farm project has been recognized as National Energy Administration’s plain wind development demonstration project, and also a key new energy development project of Henan Province, providing enough green electricity to power the equivalent of 500,000 homes in Henan Province.
According to the agreement, GE Renewable Energy is set to provide 286 units of its 2.5-132 turbines with 130-meter (427-foot) soft steel towers to the wind farm, which will be developed by China Huaneng and located in the Puyang prefecture, Henan Pro
