"GE is dedicated to offshore, with a fat line underneath it," Anders Søe-Jensen, chief executive of GE's newly created offshore wind division, tells Recharge.

"We have the second biggest pipeline in the industry now,” Søe-Jensen says. “We have a factory. We have the full setup. We're executing the first-ever offshore wind farm in the US."

"GE intends to be a major player in offshore, period," says the offshore veteran.
