GE Vernova completed a simultaneous gas turbine and steam turbine C-Major inspection during a planned outage at Kwinana Power Station in Western Australia. Kwinana is a 328-MW combined-cycle, gas-fired facility located approximately 30 km (19 miles) south of Perth. By using digital outage tools, LEAN methods, and integrated planning, the team improved safety, speed, and overall efficiency. This marked the first outage and first CSA at Kwinana Power Station since NewGen Power Company Pty. Ltd. returned as a GE Vernova customer.

“When we have an outage of this magnitude safety and quality come first, having a good partner with GE Vernova certainly helps us achieve that.”

During the pandemic lockdowns, GE Vernova’s dedicated commitment to customers meant the Sultan Ibrahim Power Plant and the GE Vernova engineering teams were in constant contact to share data and collaborate quickly to enable faster, more complete resolutions to any potential or encountered outages.

"While the pandemic was a challenging time for everyone, we still had to ensure continued power capacity and system reliability to meet demand. Thanks to GE Vernova and the strong teamwork and expertise of the engineering teams, we are seeing increased operation efficiencies and reduced outage downtime. We look forward to further collaboration with GE Vernova and the other stakeholders to help move Malaysia’s energy transition forward."

Nava Nakorn Electricity Generating Co. (NNEG) operates eight LM6000s units, supplying gas and steam power to the Nava Nakorn Industrial Zone in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Recently, GE Vernova’s One Field Services completed a VSV bushing replacement in just 14 hours—10 hours faster than the standard—achieving a global first, thanks to meticulous planning and detailed checklists. As a result, the customer was back up and running in record time.

"GE Vernova's One Field Services team accomplished this replacement with no safety or quality issues thanks to a deep understanding of the fleet and what was required to undergo routine maintenance, and innovative thinking toward the manpower scheduling."
