GE Renewable Energy, a business unit of General Electric, will supply 24 wind-turbine units to Khao Kor Wind Power Co's wind-farm project in Phetchabun. "GE is committed to supporting local developers in Thailand, and we hope to continue collaborating with regional customers to build additional wind-power capacity in the future," Peter Cowling, general manager of GE Asia-Pacific's renewable sales business, said yesterday. Operations start in May The contract also covers logistics, installation and maintenance. Each wind turbine uses a 120-metre rotor to generate 2.5 megawatts. The companies declined to disclose the deal's value. This 60MW project worth Bt5 billion is scheduled to start commercial operations next May. Surachet Tamronglak, managing director of KWP, said the project was expected to contribute Bt700 million in revenue a year and break even in 12 years. Cowling said the region had huge potential for wind power, and GE technology was competitive, reliable and innovative. GE recently secured another wind-turbine deal in Thailand but it declined to elaborate. Wind-energy development has been making progress in Thailand. The Alternative Energy Develop-ment and Efficiency De-partment's Alternative Energy Development Plan aims to increase the share of renewable sources in Thailand's total electricity-generation mix from 9.9 per cent last year to 20 per cent by 2036. GE has sold its wind-turbine products with combined installed capacity of 40 gigawatts to 31 countries.
