Wind turbine major General Electric has installed its 15,000th 1.5MW wind turbine.

Victor Abate, vice president-renewable energy for GE Power & Water, said, ‘The shipment of our 15,000th 1.5MW wind turbine demonstrates the key role that this technology has played in supporting the rapid development of the wind industry in North America and worldwide.’
In addition, the company has announced that through a partnership with Energy Development Group, Atlantic Power and Reunion Power more than 10,000 acres of rural land will host Idaho’s largest portfolio of wind farms.
In total, the development will generate 183MW of energy, enough to power 39,7000 Idaho homes, and are positioned across 11 sites.
Meanwhile, the 15,000th turbine was installed at Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s Crow Lake wind farm in South Dakota.
‘We are pleased to know that this milestone turbine will help to support future green technology jobs and will be instrumental to the training of the next generation of wind turbine technicians,’ Abate said.
The Crow Lake project spans three countries in South Dakota and is the largest wind project in the US owned solely by a cooperative, with a capacity of 15.15MW.
