Description

About

What is Repower?

Repower enhances older turbines by replacing the drivetrains and rotors with upgraded components and the latest controls technology. GE Vernova estimates that approximately 10,500 legacy turbines in the United States alone are eligible for Repower. This could potentially add as much as 2.6 GW more capacity to the grid.

Extended operating life

Repower can extend the life of your equipment up to an additional 20 years.

Increased energy production

Repower can improve Annual Energy Production (AEP) up to 35%.

Improved availability

Repower upgrades update equipment that can significantly improve turbine availability.
