GE’s agreement with First Wind will include operations, parts and on-site support including a comprehensive maintenance package.
GE will provide First Wind with WindBOOST, designed to increase wind turbine production; Winter Ice Operations Mode, which can allow turbines to recapture production in colder climates; and a full service agreement on wind turbine drive trains.
GE also will provide an availability guarantee at First Wind’s wind sites in Maine, Utah and Hawaii.
First Wind president and CFO Michael Alvarez said the agreement with GE ensures the availability and reliability of our wind turbines, and the drive train maintenance package will provide the company with long term asset management coverage.
