GE Vernova has announced its first onshore wind repowering agreement outside the United States, securing a contract with Taiwan Power Company (TPC) to upgrade 25 onshore wind turbines in Taiwan. The deal was announced at the B20 South Africa 2025 Summit in Johannesburg and marks a major expansion of GE Vernova’s repowering business, which has already upgraded more than 6,000 turbines across the U.S.
Under the agreement, GE Vernova will supply repower upgrade kits for 25 of its 1.5 MW-70.5m turbines and provide a five-year operations and maintenance package. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2025, with component deliveries scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of the year. Retrofit installation is expected to take place through 2026 and 2027.
Repowering allows ageing turbines to be modernised, extending their operational life and improving reliability and energy performance. For TPC, the project will help sustain the generation of affordable renewable electricity while extracting greater value from existing infrastructure — an important step towards Taiwan’s decarbonisation goals.
Uzair Memon, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind Services business, said: “As we bring our proven repowering capabilities to customers outside the U.S. for the first time, we’re proud to work with TPC to support Taiwan’s energy transition. The deal also reinforces how our services capabilities drive lifecycle value for our customers through fleet reliability, technology investment and an integrated global supply chain.”
The announcement also aligns with recommendations in the B20 Energy Mix & Just Transition policy paper, which calls for accelerated expansion and modernisation of energy infrastructure to enhance efficiency, access and reliability. Roger Martella, GE Vernova’s Chief Corporate Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, co-chaired the group behind the paper.
GE Vernova operates a global fleet of around 57,000 wind turbines with nearly 120 GW of installed capacity. Its wind services portfolio — including repowering and life-extension solutions — plays a key role in the company’s strategy to support growing clean energy demand worldwide.
