China-based Goldwind Science & Technology Company Limited has secured a contract with Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited (GULF) to supply turbines for 286 MW of wind projects in Thailand. The deal will see Goldwind’s GWH182-series turbines deployed across four of GULF’s renewable energy projects.
The turbines will be installed on Goldwind’s proprietary steel-concrete hybrid towers, designed to maximize power output under low- to medium-wind conditions. This marks the first deployment of the company’s hybrid tower technology in Southeast Asia. The four wind farms are expected to commence commercial operations in 2027. One farm, with a 78 MW capacity, is fully owned by GULF’s subsidiary Gulf Renewable Energy Company Limited (GRE), while GRE holds a 60 per cent stake in the other three projects, which are joint ventures with Alpha Energy Holding. Collectively, these projects support GULF’s target of raising the share of renewables in its power generation portfolio to at least 40 per cent by 2035.
Goldwind’s GWH182 onshore platform features turbines with a 182-metre rotor diameter and multiple power configurations ranging from 5.3 MW to 7.5 MW. The platform obtained type certification from DNV Renewables last year, validating its performance and reliability.
