GE Renewable Energy (Paris, France) announced on June 22 the production of the 1,111th wind turbine blade at its LM Wind Power (Kolding, Denmark) wind turbine blade manufacturing site in Turkey, four years after the start of the production at the new plant in Bergama, İzmir.
Devoted to responding to the growing demand for wind energy worldwide, including in Turkey, Europe and Asia, these 1,111 blades are meant to capture the wind for a total capacity of about 1.58 gigawatts (GW).Inaugurated in July 2017, the Bergama facility — represents a $80 million investment to Turkey — became the fifteenth LM Wind Power factory and the first opened after the company became a GE Renewable Energy business.
The construction of the site’s extension started at the end of April 2019, in order to set up the factory to produce the innovative two-pieces carbon fiber blade for GE’s Onshore Cypress turbine platform. Today, GE says the Bergama site counts more than 800 employees, 26% of whom are women, one of LM Wind Power’s leading sites for a diverse workforce - link
