General Electric Co. plans to buy a maker of wind-turbine blades for $1.65 billion (1.5 billion euros), bolstering the renewable-energy business amid growing demand for clean power.
The deal for Denmark-based LM Wind Power will enhance GE’s ability to serve customers in the onshore and offshore wind markets, the companies said Tuesday in a statement. LM Wind Power, which is owned by private-equity firm Doughty Hanson, will run as a standalone business within the renewable-energy unit.
