GE Vernova Inc. has signed an agreement with Greenvolt International Power to supply, install and commission 42 onshore wind turbines for the upcoming Ialomiţa wind farm in Romania. Each turbine, with a capacity of 6.1 megawatts (MW) and a rotor diameter of 158 metres, will contribute to a total output of 252 MW, making this one of the most powerful wind farms in the country.
Deployment scheduled to begin in 2026
The agreement was finalised during the third quarter of 2025, with deliveries of the equipment scheduled to begin in 2026. GE Vernova stated that the farm’s output will supply electricity to the equivalent of more than 110,000 Romanian households and businesses annually. This contract marks another step in GE Vernova’s expansion of its so-called “workhorse” strategy, focused on high-power standardised turbines to optimise industrial cost and logistics.
Strengthening an industrial strategy
GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind division currently has an installed base of nearly 57,000 turbines worldwide, representing around 120 gigawatts (GW) of capacity. The new project aligns with the group’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in the European market, particularly in regions aiming to expand their onshore wind energy generation capacity.
Partnership with Greenvolt in Romania
The Ialomiţa wind farm is also part of Greenvolt International Power’s ambitions to increase its footprint in Eastern Europe. The Portuguese company has ramped up initiatives in the region in recent years, relying on industrial partnerships with established suppliers to accelerate the deployment of large-scale projects.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets, stated that this contract “reinforces the value of our product strategy and demonstrates our ability to deliver value for our customers in Romania and across Europe.”
