GE Renewable Energy and Invenergy recently signed an agreement under which GE will provide cybersecurity to Invenergy’s entire fleet of wind turbines and create a framework to add future wind farms to the network.
“This took a huge effort from our teams across all functions to get the deal across the line,” Sanjeev
Addala, chief digital officer at GE Renewable Energy, said. “We are looking forward to building on the success of supporting Invenergy’s fleet under contract and expanding it to other wind fleets. It’s very exciting to work with one of our best customers, Invenergy, on their digital transformation!”
Wurldtech, a GE Company that focuses on cybersecurity, protecting operational technology and
information technology, will provide cybersecurity solutions and services for the project along with GE.
The agreement, which is worth more than $13 million over ten years, includes upgrading Invenergy’s legacy controls, upgrading and protecting their network security as well as software maintenance, updates, and patches for the duration of the ten-year term.
“As online threats multiply and the electric grid goes digital, cyber security is a top priority for Invenergy,” Jim Shield, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Invenergy, said. “We are proud of our collaboration with the GE Digital team to develop a long-term, enterprise-wide cyber security agreement that met our operational needs.”
