NTR seals deal for 228 GE wind turbines

The wind business of Dublin-headquartered investment group NTR has signed a deal to acquire 228 wind turbines from GE for two new US projects.

GE will build and supply 94 of its advanced turbines, the 1.6-100 version launched earlier this year, for Wind Capital Group’s Osage project in Oklahoma. Wind Capital’s Post Rock project in Kansas will get 134 of GE’s 1.5-82.5 wind turbines. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. However, it is estimated the 94 advanced turbines ordered by Wind Capital could be valued at €188 million.
