First class in H-class

Leading the industry in H-class technology

GE introduced H-class technology to the industry 26 years ago. Today, GE’s HA product portfolio—first introduced in 2014—is engineered to reduce carbon emissions and help support today’s flexible power generation needs. The H-class portfolio leverages GE’s advanced combustion and compressor technology, along with critical advancements in material science, design and coatings, for higher output and performance. 

Industry recognition

GE Vernova is the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that has been recognized by a 3rd party for setting two world records for powering the most efficient plant in an H-class combined-cycle (CC) application: 63.08% gross CC efficiency at Chubu Electric’s Nishi Nagoya power plant in Japan (7HA, 60Hz), and 62.22% net CC efficiency at EDF’s Bouchain power plant in France (9HA, 50Hz).

2024/Saudi Arabia: GE Vernova earns the single largest order for 7HA.03 gas turbines in the Middle East and Africa, including six 7HA.03 units and two 7E.03 gas turbines for the Taiba 1 and Qassim 1 power plants.

2021/China: GE Vernova’s HA technology was adopted at China Huadian Corp’s Juliangcheng plant to help accelerate the retirement of existing coal-fired capacity and replace it with new, highly efficient combined-cycle gas turbines—an important role that earned POWER Magazine’s “Reinvention Award.” 

2021/Malaysia: Southern Power Generation’s 1.4 GW Track 4A power plant (Sultan Ibrahim Power Plant), a natural gas-fired power plant in southern Malaysia—equipped with the first commercial GE 9HA.02 gas turbines—was recognized by POWER Magazine as their “2021 Power Plant of the Year” and by Diesel & Gas Turbine WORLDWIDE as “Power Plant of the World,” a meaningful model for balancing climate awareness, energy affordability, and reliability.

2020/US: Gas Power and New Fortress Energy announced that the Long Ridge power plant in Ohio will be the first purpose-built hydrogen-burning plant in the United States—and the first worldwide to blend hydrogen in a GE H-class (7HA.02) gas turbine.

Impacts and achievements

GE Vernova commissions 100th HA gas turbine globally, marking significant milestone

GE Vernova marks the 100th installation of its HA gas turbine at the Shingsehong power plant in South Korea, with 60 more units on order globally. With demand for electricity on the rise, our HA gas power plants can play an instrumental role in transitioning from coal to gas while maintaining reliable power to balance the intermittency of renewables.

  • GE Vernova’s H-class combined cycle power plant enables grid operators to dispatch power quickly as one of the most responsible and flexible in the industry.

  • GE Vernova simulated that H-class units in South Korea could reduce carbon emission intensity of the fossil fleet per kilowatt hour more than three-fold over current levels if coal plants were retired and this newer, advanced technology was deployed in country.

  • Compared to coal, HA gas turbines can save over 3.3 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, per unit, the equivalent of removing 680,000 cars off the road. 

  • GE Vernova’s 7HA.03 gas turbine is currently the world’s largest, most efficient, and flexible gas turbine on the market with the lowest cost conversion of gas to electricity for 60-hertz power plant operators.
