GE Vernova's Onshore Wind business announced a new equipment and long-term services deal with Pattern Energy to supply 674 3.6-1541 wind turbines that will provide more than 2.4 gigawatts (GW) of power at the SunZia Wind project in New Mexico. SunZia Wind, which is expected to be the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere at over 3.5 GW total project size, will bring GE Vernova's installed base with Pattern Energy in North America to approximately 4.3 GW upon completion. The order, which was received in the fourth quarter of 2023, is the largest single onshore wind turbine order ever received by GE Vernova, both in terms of quantity of turbines and gigawatts of power generation, upon completion.

The 3.6-154 turbine is one of GE's next generation workhorse products. Designed specifically for the U.S., the 3.6-154 delivers the highest efficiency in the market, with an optimized size for ease of logistics and installation. The 3.6-154 is built on the back of the 2.8-127 ?

the #1 turbine in the world over the last two years, according to the Woodmack 2022 OEM report, with more than 200 million operating hours of experience. The result of three years of research & development, this product is expected to bring the latest in innovation of turbine and blade design, including the digital blade certificate, an AI-trained blade manufacturing process designed to produce industry leading quality. The 3.6-154 launches as the most tested and validated turbine in GE's history ?

a robust turbine to power the domestic energy transition. GE Vernova and Pattern Energy's collaboration on SunZia spans the last 18 months and includes collaborative development and supply chain work to optimize site layouts and performance while minimizing unnecessary variants ? following GE Vernova's workhorse philosophy.

The project will be supplied through GE Vernova's nacelle facility in Pensacola, Florida, as well as tower manufacturing facilities in Belen, New Mexico, Pueblo, Colorado, and Amarillo, Texas, reinforcing GE Vernova's focus on taking full advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act to revitalize and enhance American manufacturing. GE Vernova announced in May of 2023 that it plans to invest $50 million and add 200 additional union jobs as part of creating a new manufacturing assembly line for its Onshore Wind business in Schenectady, New York, and announced that the first turbine was produced by that facility in November of 2023. In support of this wind turbine mega deal, GE Vernova was able to provide Pattern Energy with both high tech consulting services (Consulting Services), and financial services (Financial Services) that contributed to the project's launch.

GE Vernova's 3.6-154 turbine is one of several workhorse products that bring together focused design, efficient supply, reduced complexity, improved reliability, and bankability to offer best-in-class products. GE Vernova's Onshore Wind business has been the number one provider of onshore wind turbine installs in the U.S. for the last five years according to the American Clean Power Association, and currently has a fleet of more than 55,000 wind turbines installed around the world.
