Introducing GE's Cypress Onshore Wind Platform

Building on the proven track record of our 2 & 3 MW platforms, today we introduced the GE Cypress Platform of onshore wind turbines that will create more opportunities for lower cost wind power around the world. Cypress includes the 4.8-158 and the just launched 5.3-158 turbine with the flexibility to adapt to different wind farm requirements built-in so we can customize based on customer needs while providing an estimated 50% increase in AEP versus our 3MW platform technology.

This is a leap for wind power with investments made to design-in digital capabilities and serviceability and game-changing technology like the proprietary jointed blade. Just the ability to transport the blades in two pieces and assemble them on-site means wind turbines of this size can be an option in places where logistically it could not have been before. For our customers, it means more energy production, lower levelized cost of electricity, and more value. For the planet, it means more cost-competitive CO2-free energy, to help reach COP targets.

This is our second major platform launch this year, following the announcement of the Haliade-X in March. Cypress is yet another example of how we are engineering leading technology to unleash limitless energy, wherever and however the world needs it. You can learn more here: renew.ge/cypress
