GE Vernova held its 2025 Wind Supplier Conference in Schenectady, New York, bringing together more than 130 suppliers from different regions. The event featured discussions on technologies such as robotics, carbon-free steel, and other emerging solutions, as well as the inauguration of the company’s new collaboration space.
As part of the conference, GE Vernova’s Wind businesses announced the recipients of its annual supplier awards. Companies recognised this year included North Coast Enterprise Partners, LLC in the Installation & Indirect category, Ingeteam in Electrical, BlueWind Technology LLC in Machine Head, CMA CGM in Logistics, AoSheng Hi-Tech in Blades, and GRI Renewable Industries in Mechanical.
In India, GE Vernova plans to expand its wind energy business, aiming to reach 10 GW of capacity by 2030, up from the current 5 GW. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Chakan (Pune) and Halol (Gujarat), along with a technology centre in Bengaluru. According to the company, one out of three wind turbines installed in India is supplied by GE Vernova, with Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra identified as the main states driving demand.
The company provides onshore wind turbines for projects across India. One example is Amplus Solar’s 108 MW wind farm in Tamil Nadu, which uses turbines designed in Bengaluru, assembled in Pune, and equipped with blades manufactured in Vadodara.
GE Vernova has announced an investment of USD 16 million USD (INR 1.4 billion) to expand its electrification manufacturing and engineering operations in India. This includes new facilities in Chennai, where a manufacturing line will be established, and in Noida, where an engineering laboratory is being developed. The expansions will focus on advanced grid technologies such as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS). The Noida laboratory is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2025, while the Chennai facility is expected to begin operations in early 2027.
India serves as both a key market and a manufacturing hub for GE Vernova, supporting its global supply chain and export demand. The company stated that its operations in the country are intended to strengthen grid stability, enable renewable integration, and contribute to India’s broader energy transition.
GE Vernova operates in power, grid, and wind businesses. The company’s Schenectady site is historically linked to Thomas Edison and serves as a hub for its innovation and supply chain activities.
