0 Comments | Renewable Energy Today, March 7, 2006

GE Energy recently announced it delivered 1,346 wind turbines worldwide during 2005, completing the year with revenue exceeding $2 billion.

According to GE Energy, revenue for 2005 represents an increase of more than 200 percent over the 2004 total and an increase of more than 400 percent since the utility commenced wind operations in 2002.

"The extension of the federal wind-energy production tax credit in 2005 helped trigger the record-breaking year and provided momentum that will carry over through 2007," said GE Energy wind segment general manager Robert Gleitz.
