GE has announced E.ON Climate & Renewables’ (EC&R) will enhance 469 of its GE 1.5-77 wind turbines with the PowerUp platform.
The PowerUp offering agreement between EC&R and GE is an outcomes-based approach. EC&R will pay GE only on the actual benefit of the PowerUp platform. GE and EC&R have agreed to a set point of additional annual energy production per wind turbine, which could bring the equivalent power of as many as 19 new 1.5-77 wind turbines for the EC&R fleet. GE will work with EC&R to perform a complete before-and-after wind farm power-performance analysis to validate the performance improvement.
