GE has estimated that the total investments in Norway will be about 600 kroner, and create around 100 jobs.
"We are recruiting right now," a representative says at the conference.
"This is great news, and the result of a good dialogue between the government and GE,"Oil and Energy Minister Terje Riis-Johansen says.
Industry and Trade Minister Trond Giske agrees:
"Offshore wind is a market that is likely to grow significantly in the coming years, and which can open new possibilities for Norwegian industry.
