“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that explains how it requires inputs from many different people with many different roles to do the important and challenging job of raising a child. It also takes a village of experts from around the world to design, manufacture, test, ship, and install the thousands of wind turbines that are coming together at what is expected to become the largest wind project in U.S. history — if not the entire Western Hemisphere.

Boulder Creek is the first standalone project-financed split-scope wind farm in Australia, representing a milestone in the evolution of the nation’s wind market and underscoring GE Vernova’s commitment to partnership and flexibility in aligning global delivery models to create value for customers in the country.

The project, located 40km south-west of Rockhampton, brings the total number of GE Vernova 6 MW platform turbines in operation or under construction in Australia to more than 250. The deal, which was booked in the third quarter of 2024, includes a five-year full-service agreement.

The wind farm is expected to supply power for the equivalent of 85,000 Australian homes2, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 379,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent each year3, comparable to taking more than 130,000 petrol cars off the road4.

GE Vernova worked closely with Aula Energy, Powerlink Queensland and the Australian Energy Market Operator to achieve the grid offer-to-connect well in advance of project financial close, building off grid approvals secured for the 6 MW platform in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.

“We are delighted to be working closely together with our customers, CS Energy and Aula Energy to bring reliable and affordable wind energy to Australia to increase the renewable energy mix. This project is another example of GE Vernova’s ability to deliver on our workhorse strategy – producing fewer variants in large quantities at scale to drive quality and reliability across the fleet for our customers. With a broad cross portfolio of capabilities underpinned by world-leading technology, GE Vernova is uniquely positioned to help lead the energy transition,” says Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer, Onshore Wind, GE Vernova.

CS Energy Chief Executive Officer Darren Busine said, “Our investment in the Boulder Creek Wind Farm demonstrates our ongoing commitment to central Queensland and providing opportunities for our people and local communities to share the benefits of the energy transformation.”

Aula Energy Chief Executive Officer Chad Hymas said “I’m very pleased to have reached this crucial stage in the development of the Boulder Creek Wind Farm. In collaboration with GE Vernova and our other project partners, we can now get construction underway to deliver the clean energy benefits of this project for Queensland.“

Site preparatory works at the Boulder Creek Wind Farm are expected to commence before the end of 2024, with activity aiming to ramp up from early to mid-2025, and operations anticipated to commence in 2027.

GE Vernova's Onshore Wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Committed to customer success for more than two decades, its product portfolio offers proven, next-generation technology that leads with high-power turbines to enable high-quality scale and drive decarbonization through more affordable and sustainable renewable energy generation. The GE Vernova 6 MW platform to be used at Boulder Creek Wind Farm is the most widely deployed onshore wind turbine above 5 MW outside China.

Australia has been part of the company’s story for more than 125 years and today is increasingly important for GE Vernova, providing careers for ~400 employees and ~200 field engineers across every State and Territory. With more than 3 GW of wind turbines in operation or under construction, 10+GW of gas-based power generation, software running 80% of the electricity grid, providing ~40% of grid infrastructure of major utilities, GE Vernova is actively supporting efforts to make electricity more sustainable, affordable, reliable and accessible across Australia.

GE Vernova announces start of operations of the Ishikari Hachinosawa Wind Farm, GE Vernova’s second project with J-POWER in Japan

5 min read
  • Ishikari Hachinosawa Wind Farm, powered by 5 units of GE Vernova’s 4.2-117 turbines achieves commercial operations

  • Total installed capacity of approximately 21 MW, providing the equivalent energy to power approximately 7,400 households on an annual basis

[Ishikari Hachinosawa, Hokkaido] (June 6, 2024) - GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business announced today the start of operations of the Ishikari Hachinosawa Wind Farm located in Ishikari city, in Hokkaido island. The 21 MW wind farm, owned by Ishikari Green Energy Co Ltd, a subsidiary of one of Japan’s largest electric utilities, J-POWER, has been in operation since March 2024, and is powered by 5 units of GE Vernova’s 4.2-117 MW wind turbines, providing the equivalent energy to power approximately 7,400 households.

The project will help enable both companies to support Japan’s goal of increasing the share of the national electricity mix from renewable energy from 36% to 38% by 2030, as outlined by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s 6th National Electricity Mix. The project, being GE Vernova’s 2nd 4.2-117 wind turbine project for J-POWER, serves to further strengthen the companies’ relationship following the start of operations of the Esashi Replacement Project in early 2023.

GE Vernova, J-POWER and project construction partners have been working closely to achieve start of operations since the arrival and delivery of the main wind turbine components at Ishikari Shinko Port in May 2023. A unique challenge of the project was coping with snow. Ishikari is a location that experiences heavy snow and blizzards and had undergone incidents of white-outs with severe lightning and thunderstorms during the commissioning of the project. This posed challenges for the project team, who had to stop work periodically to prioritize safety. Daily snow removal work, close collaboration with the customer, and proper last-mile planning enabled the project to be constructed safely, and on-schedule.

Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer, GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business said, “We appreciate the confidence that J-POWER continues to show us in choosing our 4 MW class turbine line for their projects in the county. This is their 23rd wind project in the country, and we are committed to helping to ensure the success of their operations to deliver the power needs of Japan, which is a strategically important country in Asia.”

Katsuya Toda, Department Director of Onshore Wind Power Business Dept. of J-POWER said, “J-POWER is proud to announce the implementation of a new Clean Energy Project in Ishikari Hachinosawa as a joint venture with SymEnergy Inc. We thank GE Vernova and everyone who helped make this project a reality. We will continue to provide many clean energy solutions in Japan to achieve the carbon neutrality goals set forth in J-POWER “BLUE MISSION 2050”.”

GE Vernova's onshore wind business has a total installed base of approximately 56,000 turbines and nearly 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Committed to customer success for more than two decades, its product portfolio offers proven, next-generation technology that leads with high-power turbines to enable high-quality scale and drive decarbonisation through more affordable and sustainable renewable energy generation.
