GE Vernova Wind CEO Vic Abate stated: “We are delighted to be able to again support CIP in its goals to bring more wind power online to meet Spain’s ambitious renewable energy targets and continue to contribute to the Spanish wind industry.

“This agreement reinforces how we can use our workhorse product strategy to provide our customers with proven technology that enables them to build high quality, high-performance fleets at scale to meet the demands of the energy transition.”

CIP partner Nischal Agarwal stated: “The Maestrazgo cluster is expected to have a very positive socio-economic impact on job creation and on the Aragonese and Valencian economy [and] also on the value chain of the entire Spanish wind industry.

“The wind turbines will be manufactured in production plants located in Spain, such as GE Vernova’s plant in Castellón and others from different suppliers in Albacete, Burgos and Galicia, where the towers are expected to be manufactured.

“The expected impact of investment and job creation figures make the Teruel project a benchmark for the sector in Europe.”
