Goldwind has completed the installation of all six wind turbines at the Breti Wind Power Project in Georgia, marking a key construction milestone for the 43.2 MW facility. Developed by Vento Energy, the project uses Goldwind’s GWH182 turbine platform and will undergo testing and commissioning before commercial operations begin.
The Chinese wind turbine manufacturer confirmed that the final turbine has been erected at the site. Each GWH182 turbine has a rated capacity of 7.2 MW, bringing the wind farm’s planned total capacity to 43.2 MW. According to Goldwind, installation of the six turbines was completed in 53 days, with the project team maintaining its safety and quality standards throughout the work.
First Deployment of Goldwind’s GWH182 Platform in Georgia
The Breti wind farm project marks the first deployment of Goldwind’s GWH182 platform in Georgia. The installation provides an opportunity for local engineering and operating teams to gain experience with the turbine technology as the country develops its wind energy capacity.
The six turbines were installed in challenging terrain, requiring careful coordination between the manufacturer, project developer and local teams. Georgia’s mountainous landscape can complicate wind farm construction, particularly when transporting large turbine components along narrow and winding roads.
Moving turbine blades, tower sections and other heavy equipment to the site requires detailed transport planning and logistics management. Uneven ground and changing wind conditions also increase the importance of site-specific engineering and installation procedures.
Goldwind said the installation was completed within the planned 53-day period while meeting the project’s safety and quality requirements. The completion of turbine erection represents an important step towards bringing the wind farm into operation.
Testing and Commissioning Ahead of Commercial Operations
Although turbine installation is complete, the Breti wind farm must still pass testing and commissioning before it can begin commercial electricity generation. These processes will assess the installed equipment and confirm operational readiness ahead of the start of service.
Once operational, the 43.2 MW project will add wind generation capacity to Georgia’s electricity system. The final date for commercial operations has not been specified in the supplied information.
Goldwind Expands Its Presence in Georgia
Goldwind said it has secured nine wind power projects in Georgia since entering the market in 2024. The projects represent a combined capacity of 438 MW, indicating a growing project pipeline for the manufacturer in the country.
The Breti installation adds to that presence and introduces the GWH182 platform to the Georgian market. Its progress also highlights the construction and logistical requirements involved in developing wind energy infrastructure in mountainous locations.
Completion of turbine installation brings the project closer to operation, although testing and commissioning remain necessary before the facility can begin supplying electricity.
