GE Vernova signs deal to repower wind turbines in Italy

GE Vernova has been selected by Italian wind developer IVPC Group to repower five wind turbines at its Montefalcone wind farm in Italy.

As part of this repowering project, GE Vernova will provide five units of its 6.1 MW–158m onshore wind turbines.

Repowering involves replacing older units with new, higher-capacity turbines or retrofitting them with more efficient components to increase production while extending the wind farm life.

IVPC Group will lead the maintenance work with engineering support provided by GE Vernova.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2025 and the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
