GE is to supply turbines totalling 158MW to Vetroelektrane Balkana’s Cibuk 1 wind farm in Serbia.
The project, located 50km outside of Belgrade, will consist of 57 GE 2.75-120 turbines, with blades made by LM Wind Power.
GE will deliver, install and commission the wind farm, as well as provide servicing for 15 years.
Vetroelektrane Balkana is owned by Tesla Wind, a 60:40 joint venture between Abu Dhabi giant Masdar and Cibuk Wind Holding.
The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2019 and will create up to 400 jobs during construction.
Some €300m of funding for the project has been secured from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Finance Corporation, Banca Intesa, Erste Bank, UniCredit and The Green for Growth Fund.
