GE Renewable Energy and the Green Investment Group have partnered up to acquire one of the largest single-site onshore wind installations in Europe from renewables developer Svevind for a new 650MW wind project in Sweden. The Markbygden ETT wind farm will begin operating by the end of 2019, and increase Sweden’s wind energy generation by over 12.5 percent.

“Markbygden ETT marks our commitment to the Swedish onshore wind arena and extends our presence in Europe while showcasing our technical capabilities – with LM Wind Power – and project development and management differentiators,” Pete McCabe, president and CEO of GE’s Onshore Wind Business, said.
