GE Renewable Energy recently created a standalone development team to get in on the ground floor of projects in tough-to-crack markets, with a focus on onshore wind but potentially offshore wind and hydro as well, Recharge has learned.

GE will “co-develop” projects from an early stage alongside other developers, and plans to offer renewables power-purchase agreements (PPAs) to customers, including corporations, says Andrès Isaza, chief commercial officer at GE Renewable Energy.
