"We aim to leverage LM Wind Power's proven and extensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities coupled with their global footprint to support our customers with high-quality sustainable energy solutions meeting all Vestas standards," Tommy Rahbek Nielsen, executive vice president and COO of Vestas, said in a news release. LM Wind Power, a business unit of General Electric Co. subsidiary GE Renewable Energy, will supply the blades from its existing global production footprint. Production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2024. The new agreement is a continuation of the existing Vestas-LM Wind Power partnership to manufacture V150 blades in Brazil, Vestas said. "Sharing manufacturing operations across the renewables industry is more relevant than ever to ensure sites are not sitting idle and creates a flexible, scalable and efficient supply chain that enables industrial scale to meet global net-zero ambitions," the release said. |
