GE Renewable Energy has signed a contract for an 88 MW wind farm with BIM Wind, a joint venture company between AC Energy of the Philippines and BIM Energy Holding of Vietnam. GE Renewable Energy will supply, install, and commission GE Cypress onshore wind turbines for BIM Wind’s 88 MW wind farm located in Ninh Thuận Province, South Central Vietnam.

The order includes a 15-year full-service agreement. The project is expected to be commissioned and operational by the end of the third quarter of 2021. All turbines will be equipped with the two-piece blade design.

The order is GE’s largest Cypress platform deal in Southeast Asia.
