In the world of wind turbine operations, downtime is measured in more than hours. It is measured in lost megawatts, missed contractual targets, and costly service calls. One failed yaw motor can bring an entire machine to a halt, turning a small mechanical issue into a big operational problem.

That is why WECS, your strategic O&M partner for clean energy infrastructure, is issuing this stock alert:

Our Universal Yaw Motor for GE 1.5 and 1.6 turbines is in stock now. It is engineered for versatility, durability, and fast replacement in the field.

The WECS Advantage: Speed and Certainty in the Field

Many suppliers can quote you a yaw motor, but few can deliver it from deep, on-hand inventory designed specifically for the wind O&M market. WECS can.

We are not a broadline distributor dabbling in wind parts. We specialize in technically complex components such as motors, pumps, medium voltage accessories, and engineered solutions that standard catalogs cannot solve for. That means:

• No 40-week lead times. Our stocking strategy is built around high-failure, high-priority parts
• Field-Informed Guidance. You will work with former wind technicians, mechanical and electrical engineers, and long-tenured product experts who understand your equipment and your challenges
• Proactive Problem Solving. Through cross-site intelligence from fleets across North America, we flag recurring issues and help you prevent them before a failure occurs

Who Benefits Most from Acting Now

The Universal Yaw Motor is ideal for:

• Owner-operators and O&M teams managing GE 1.5 or 1.6 fleets
• Independent service providers standardizing inventory across multiple sites
• Fleet managers looking to reduce spare part SKUs while maintaining uptime reliability

Why WECS is Different

For over 40 years, WECS has served as a lifeline for operators of utility-scale wind assets, building a reputation on speed, accuracy, and deep technical expertise. Our relationship-first business model means we are not chasing volume. We are protecting your uptime and your budget.

With decades-long vendor partnerships, lean but highly experienced teams, and the agility to make decisions quickly, we have become the go-to supply partner for top energy companies. When lead times stretch across the industry, we are often the only source with the part in stock and the know-how to ensure it is the right fit.
