“We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without our development partners,” says Vic Abate, GE vice president of renewable energy. “Together, we have advanced wind to its current status as a relevant, reliable, competitive source of energy.”

GE achieved its 10,000th turbine milestone in November 2008 and its 15,000th in February 2011.

GE acquired Enron’s wind turbine business a decade ago and has been the US market leader since then.
