CEZ Wind farm in fantanele, Romania GE Supplies Advanced 2.5xl Wind Turbines for Europe’s Largest Onshore Wind Project

The European Union (EU) has set goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent while increasing renewable energy capacity 20 percent by the year 2020, with national targets set for each member state. To help Romania reach its EU target, GE supplied 240 2.5 xl wind turbines in two phases for the Fantanele wind project, creating the largest onshore wind farm in Europe. The site has a total capacity of 600 MW of wind power, enough wind- generated electricity to supply power to more than 400,000 homes. Manufactured at GE’s wind turbine facility in Salzbergen, Germany, the 2.5xl wind turbine represents GE’s most advanced wind turbine technology in terms of efficiency, reliability, and grid connection capabilities, and is designed to yield the highest annual energy production in its class.
