To meet global decarbonization goals, the world needs more wind. It will take industry leaders working together as One Team to make that happen.
That’s why I am so pleased to have spent 2-days last week in Pensacola, Florida, with more than 350 representatives from our supplier network discussing how our collaboration will help usher in a new era of energy for the world and future generations to come.
We discussed how, together, we can lead growth in the wind industry by securing safety and transforming quality. Our suppliers also had the opportunity to tour our state-of-the-art wind manufacturing facility near-by to see how we apply Lean to deliver More Wind every day.
We closed our supplier conference with our 2024 GE Vernova Wind Supplier Excellence Awards.
Congratulations to the 2024 award winners selected by our 6 commodity teams:
Electrical – JST Power Equipment
Machine Head - Flender Gmbh
Blades – Newtech Group Co., Ltd.
Mechanical – CS BEARING CO., LTD.
Installation and Indirect – ENDIPREV SA
Logistics – Jordan Carriers
Congratulations also to our 2024 Sustainability Breakthrough award winner SSAB Americas.
In 2024, GE Vernova became the first wind turbine OEM globally to build towers with SSAB ZeroTM plate steel. Year to date we have built up to 500 towers with this world first material, which emits over 90% less CO2 in production than equivalent steel plate used across the industry today.
Stay tuned for more announcements on the positive impact of this partnership.
Lastly, my team wrapped up the week with a beach clean-up. A small, literal, team contribution to sustainability and waste elimination in support of our community. Thank you to all who took part in this energizing event.
