S5 - GE Cypress

Enhance GE Cypress operations through collaboration with your peers

14 Nov from 12:00 to 14:50

Introduction

The GE 2-3.X user group is by far our most frustrated one. Our members are asking their turbine manufacturer technical questions and getting responses from legal people. Its uncertain times for GE 2-3.X owners. Speaking to some top directors among O2O WIND members there is no clarity for if GE is about to withdraw from Europe, Asia, and South America, and even our US-based members are frustrated. This calls for collaboration.

Borusan EnBW Energy operates a multi-technology wind portfolio with Vestas, Siemens, Gamesa, GE and Nordex turbines in Turkey. Usually, these owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.

A big thank you to Borusan EnBW Energy!
