GE Renewable Energy president and CEO Jérôme Pécresse said: “We are delighted to be working with the China Huaneng Group and the Henan Provincial Government to bring our technology, people, commitment and clean wind power to Henan Province, as China continues to work toward its renewable energy goals.

“GE has a long history in China, and we are excited to have this opportunity to continue to learn locally and grow together, with technology specifically developed for the region.”

This is the largest order that GE has secured in the Asian region and also the single-largest onshore wind contract that has been awarded to any non-Chinese wind turbine manufacturer.

China Huaneng will develop the windfarm, which is expected to generate enough power to meet the needs of 500,000 homes in Henan province. GE stated that it intends to deliver the wind turbines by July 2020.
