The energy transition, the global energy sector’s shift from fossil-based systems of energy production and consumption to renewable energy sources, is accelerating worldwide. Worldwide, the aim is on reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions through various methods of decarbonization.

Our customers face several challenges when connecting renewables to the grid -- such as balancing generation and demand, improving grid resilience and energy efficiency, as well as the need to reduce their environmental footprint.

Oslo, NORWAY, F

GE Vernova is proud to announce that the company has become the first manufacturer of high voltage (HV) gas-insulated substations (GIS) for SF₆-free technology at voltages greater than 54 kV to successfully complete assessment by the Energy Networks Association (ENA). This marks a huge step forward for the power industry towards its ambitions to reduce emissions and achieve its net zero goal.

GE Vernova Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has just energized Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Transmission’s first g³ gas-insulated New Deer substation. This represents the world’s largest installation to date of g³ gas, GE Vernova’s alternative to SF₆.

• This flagship project is part of Senegal’s national electricity company Senelec’s transmission and distribution grid expansion, reinforcement and reliability enhancement program to be completed by VINCI Energies West Africa
• Substations not only supply electricity to the homes, but also manage the power flowing into the grid from various renewable energy sources
• GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions’ digital substation’s advanced functionalities, with its footprint reduced by up to 50% as well as accelera

• GE Vernova’s dual gas GIL helps high voltage grid operators prepare substations for a future SF₆ ban
• A single GIL design ensuring same performance for both SF₆ and g³ gas
• GE Vernova’s dual gas GIL embed at least 15% less SF₆ or g³ gas mass than previous versions

Thanks to their high transmission capacities and reliability, gas-insulated lines and busbars (GIL and GIB, respectively), have been in use for over half a century in power plants and in high voltage substations.
