Fast-track power solutions provider APR Energy and GE have renewed their strategic alliance to provide mobile turbine technology into the fast-track power rental market.
The cooperation grants APR Energy exclusivity around the globe as the rental provider of GE mobile gas turbines under 50MW, the two companies said.
As part of the agreement, APR Energy will acquire new Generation 8, GE TM2500+ mobile turbines in connection with its initiative to upgrade and standardise its fleet. In addition, GE and APR Energy will collaborate on leads for customers looking for interim or rental power solutions as a bridge to more permanent power solutions.
“The acquisition of the new mobile turbines further strengthens APR Energy’s position as the world’s leading provider of mobile gas turbine power, expanding its total fleet capacity to more than 2 GW” they said.
“Our partnership will provide APR Energy access to new leads and opportunities throughout the GE global network, helping to support our business growth and thereby increasing demand for GE equipment” commented John Campion, Chairman of APR Energy.
The original strategic alliance agreement between APR Energy and GE was signed in October 2013.
