Project to use GE Vernova’s 6 MW–158m workhorse turbine
-
Deal includes five-year full-service agreement
Sydney, Australia (December 23, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Aula Energy to provide 42 6.1 MW–158m1 workhorse turbines for the Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm in Australia. GE Vernova’s scope includes turbine supply and installation, underpinned by a five-year full-service operation and maintenance agreement. The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm follows an earlier deal to supply Aula Energy’s Boulder Creek Wind Farm project in Queensland, which closed in 2024 and features 38 GE Vernova 6 MW–164m turbines. Together, these two deals with Aula Energy in successive years highlight the ability of GE Vernova to support key customers in Australia.
GE Vernova is the only wind turbine OEM in Australia to have closed wind projects in nine successive years from 2017 to 2025, with Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm as the most recent success.
By continuing to deploy its proven 6 MW-class “workhorse” platform in Australia, GE Vernova and Aula Energy have been able to:
- Streamline and shorten contract negotiation cycles, leveraging standardized commercial and technical frameworks; and
- Accelerate the grid connection approval process, building on the platform’s established performance and grid credentials across multiple Australian states. Grid approval for Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm was achieved nine months after application submission.
Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm is located approximately seven km east of the town of Georgetown in the Mid-North region of South Australia, around 180 km north of Adelaide.
Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets, said, “We are delighted to build on our successful collaboration with Aula Energy to bring another high-quality wind project to Australia. Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm demonstrates how our workhorse strategy—deploying fewer turbine variants at scale—can help streamline contracting, accelerate grid approvals, and enhance quality and reliability across the fleet. With a broad cross-portfolio of capabilities and proven technology, GE Vernova is uniquely positioned to support Australia’s ambition to deliver more affordable, reliable and sustainable energy.”
Chad Hymas, Aula Energy CEO, said, “We’re pleased to be partnering once again with GE Vernova to deliver Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm. At Aula Energy we’re building enduring partnerships to lead Australia’s energy transition, faster, smarter, and with shared value for all. With the support of our partners, we’re committed to delivering a project that creates meaningful, long-term benefits for the Nukunu People, local communities, shareholders, and the sector.”
