The over 100 MW project was one of the largest wind farms awarded during an auction held by Italy’s energy agency, Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), in December 2025.

As part of the agreement, which was booked in 4Q25, GE Vernova is expected to provide a customised operations and maintenance (O&M) solution where IVPC and GE Vernova will collaborate on the delivery of the transactional maintenance activities. Deliveries for the 17 turbines are scheduled to begin in 2Q27.

The Fortore wind farm will utilise GE Vernova’s 6 MW workhorse platform, featuring two-piece blade technology. This configuration is specifically engineered to improve transportability and enable access to complex sites, while maximising energy production.

This new Fortore order follows a key milestone in GE Vernova’s collaboration with IVPC Group: the recent installation of the first Cypress 6.1 MW wind turbine in Italy at IVPC’s Montefalcone wind farm. The installation marks the start of a multi-turbine repowering project, with up to five turbines being upgraded to significantly increase output and extend the life of the existing wind farm. Together, the repowering at Montefalcone and the Fortore greenfield project underscore the strength of GE Vernova’s long-term collaboration with IVPC Group and its growing role in supporting Italy’s renewable energy and repowering ambitions.

Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets, commented: “We are honoured to extend our collaboration with IVPC Group on the Fortore wind farm. The project strengthens our presence in the country and our commitment to the European energy transition, while highlighting how our 6.1 MW-158 m technology gives operators a competitive edge in auctions through large scale, sustainable energy delivery. We look forward to continuing our strong collaboration with IVPC as we support Italy’s energy transition goals.”

Oreste Vigorito, Owner and President of the IVPC Group, added: “Building on the success of the Monfalcone project, we continue to choose GE Vernova for the flexibility of its service model – allowing us to lead transactional maintenance – and for its advanced split-blade technology, which enables deployment in locations with logistical constraints.”
