GES – Global Energy Services Expects to Increase Its Installation Business Volume by More Than 20% This Year

GES Has a Contracted Pipeline for the Installation of 127 Turbines with a Combined Installed Capacity Exceeding 540 MW

The company operates six wind turbine assembly teams, enabling it to provide services simultaneously across different countries. GES is the market leader in wind turbine installation in France and is currently exploring opportunities in North Africa, Eastern Europe and Mexico.

Strong performance in installation activities has resulted in a 125% increase in employment, combining both direct and indirect jobs.

GES is currently undertaking several flagship projects, including wind turbine repowering and decommissioning works, as well as the installation of the highest-capacity turbines ever assembled by the company, each with a generating capacity of 7 MW.

GES – Global Energy Services, a comprehensive provider of engineering, construction and services for the management and operation of renewable energy assets, expects to increase its wind installation business volume by more than 20% this year. The company has a contracted portfolio for the installation of 127 turbines across Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, representing a combined installed capacity of more than 540 MW. Over its 30 years of activity, GES has installed more than 7,400 turbines, accounting for approximately 5% of the world’s onshore wind power capacity installed outside China.

GES currently operates six wind turbine assembly teams, allowing it to deliver services simultaneously in several countries. This has enabled the company to maintain its position as one of the leading installers in France, where it is set to assemble 57 turbines this year with a combined capacity of 220 MW. Likewise, in Italy, where GES began operations last year, the company has consolidated its presence and has installed a total of 59 turbines to date, reaching an accumulated capacity of 294 MW.

In the Iberian Peninsula—a market characterised in recent years by a low number of turbine installations and intense competition among installers—GES has significantly increased its assembly work this year, with plans to install more than 40 wind turbines. In addition, the company is exploring installation projects for 2027 in North Africa, Eastern Europe and Mexico, supported by its strong relationships with leading European and American technology providers, as well as by closer collaboration with other manufacturers that are beginning to tender projects in these markets.

The strong performance of the installation business has enabled GES to increase its permanent workforce by 53%, rising from 56 employees at the beginning of the year to 86 direct employees today, in addition to a further 40 indirect hires. Overall, this represents a 125% increase in employment, combining both direct and indirect positions.

Turbine Decommissioning and Repowering: Strategic Activities

GES is currently developing several flagship projects that reinforce its position as a strategic partner for its clients. Among these is the installation, during the first quarter of the year, of the highest-capacity wind turbines ever assembled in the company’s history, each with a rated power output of 7 MW.

At the same time, GES continues to advance wind turbine and wind farm decommissioning projects, ensuring component recycling and material circularity through synergies with other companies within CL Grupo Industrial, the holding company to which it has belonged since 2017, particularly in the steel and transport sectors. This activity is complemented by several repowering projects currently in the tendering phase within the domestic market.

In addition, the company has successfully completed the assembly of a prototype turbine for certification in the European market. This project required the adaptation of both equipment and processes to carry out a range of technical tests throughout the certification process.

As José Antonio Sánchez, Head of Wind Assembly Operations, explains:

“The adaptability of our teams is fundamental to achieving these results. Currently, more than 70% of the wind turbines we install are large-scale units with capacities exceeding 4 MW. This requires a high level of specialisation, responsiveness and, above all, a strong focus on team safety. Our teams’ flexibility in responding to changes in planning and adapting to different turbine models and technologies provides a level of assurance that our clients greatly value.”
