Working together with our customers and suppliers to support and meet Taiwan’s energy demands and energy transition
Bringing fast, flexible, and secure power to Taiwan

As Ukraine faced severe energy shortages due to conflict and harsh winter conditions, the need for fast, reliable electricity generation became critical. GE Vernova provided a TM2500* mobile gas turbine to help Ukraine quickly restore electricity following widespread outages. Working with local partners, GE Vernova supported critical services by delivering power to hospitals, schools, and homes during the crisis.

“GE Vernova is uniquely positioned to be able to support Ukraine in their infrastructure rebuilding efforts, and our mobile aero technology has a proven track record for emergency power response situations due to its mobility, reliability, and flexibility.”

The 9.1 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan’s Tohoku region in March 2011 was the world’s costliest natural disaster to-date. It initiated a tsunami with waves that reached 40.5 meters and traveled up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) inland. The disaster compromised power generation and distribution, including operations at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Within 30 days of the disaster, GE Vernova had deployed 10 flexible-use TM2500 aeroderivative units, which together could produce 250 MW for the region.

PPC—one of Greece's primary electricity producer and supplier—needed fast power to support peak power demand during the summer months, when more than two million visitors from all over the world descend upon the picturesque holiday island of Kos. The Kos power plant supplies electricity to the island as well as the surrounding islands of Kalymnoa, Nisyros, Tilos, Leros, Pserimos, Telendos, and Lipsi via underwater cables.

Kos installed a GE Vernova TM2500 aeroderivative solution that was delivered before the summer season and commissioned within a few days of arrival. While Kos lacks its own supply of natural gas fuel, the TM2500 is fueled by light distillate shipped in via tanker every 2–4 weeks then purified by a GE Vernova liquid fuel module.

"We’re pleased to be working with technology providers such as GE Vernova as part of our goals to accelerate the coal-to-gas transition, manage energy shortages, stabilize the grid, and support the growth of renewables in Taiwan. We trust that GE Vernova’s aeroderivative gas power technology will help provide fast, flexible and more sustainable power for the people of Taiwan."

Taiwan’s government has set an ambitious goal to phase out all nuclear power sources by 2025 and increase the island's use of natural gas to 50%. This rapidly changing energy mix is creating opportunities for Taiwan to diversify into fast, flexible, more efficient gas technologies that will help balance the island's electricity grid and help meet future demand. In September 2020, GE Vernova announced that it was selected as the successful bidder for the 6,500 MW Hsinta and Taichung combined-cycle power plants initiated by Taiwan Power Company (TPC).

"We selected Chiahui Power Plant as a model site for Southern Taiwan for the demonstrated excellence in training management, the permit to work management system and safe lifting operations, which we recommend as a best practice in construction."

Anticipating a supply shortage if hydropower runs dry, the state’s Department of Water Resources (DWR) acted as procurement agent, commissioning four 30-MW GE TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbines. 

GE Vernova built in selective catalytic reduction scrubbers (SCRs) to the turbines for a markedly low NOX emission rating of 2.5 PPM (opposed to the average of 15). To date, this tech innovation with SCRs is the first of its kind.

"With GE Vernova as our partner, the benefits begin even before the power is online. The modular design configuration of GE Vernova’s 7HA technology simplifies construction and reduces installation time. Given the growth in Anyang and our need for efficient energy, that’s a real advantage."

Japan’s Chubu Electric Nishi-Nagoya power plant Block-1 was recognized as the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant, based on achieving 63.08 percent gross efficiency running three 7HA.01 gas turbines from GE Vernova. The gas turbines are providing more than 1,188 MW of power to the grid, enough to provide electricity to the equivalent of about 2.7 million homes in Japan.

"The targeted efficiency of this project is about 62% while it was only 40% in the old facility. Efficiency has increased by 1.5 times.”

With countries all over the world looking for ways to decarbonize energy and fight climate change, GE Vernova just helped the US take an important first step. Together with New Fortress Energy, GE Vernova announced that Long Ridge in Ohio will be the first purpose-built hydrogen-burning power plant in the United States and the first worldwide to blend hydrogen in a GE Vernova H-class gas turbine. The plant utilizes a GE Vernova 7HA.02 combustion turbine, which can burn between 15-20% hydrogen by volume in the gas stream initially, with the capability to transition to 100% hydrogen over time.

PSEG Fossil, a subsidiary of PSEG Power, was seeking to retire the four existing units at its 70-year-old Sewaren Generating Station in northern New Jersey. PSEG Fossil has replaced units 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the old Sewaren plant with a new 538-MW combined-cycle power plant—Sewaren 7—featuring GE Vernova’s 7HA.02 gas turbine. 

"Our new Sewaren 7 plant and the 7HA.02 gas turbine will help provide the market industry with more reliable and cleaner power at a lower cost of generation while also supporting the local economy with employment opportunities and tax revenues."

"By utilizing the most-advanced, most-efficient gas turbine in GE Vernova’s 60-hertz fleet, the 7HA.03 gas turbine, the FPL Dania Beach Clean Energy Center will allow FPL to continue delivering to customers the affordable energy they expect from us 24/7 to power their homes and businesses."

"Having an additional of up to 34 MW is significant for our operation and will allow us to deliver a better service to our customers and to the millions of tourists who visit us every year. On top of that, this kind of technology could enable us to respond more quickly to natural disasters like Hurricane Dorian."
