In 2019, Groupe E, a major power utility in Switzerland, contracted GE Vernova for the delivery of seven GL312g g³ live tank circuit breakers for the renovation of their Planchamps substation in the Neuchâtel region. In line with their sustainability targets, Groupe E is one of the first power distribution operators in Europe to select GE Vernova’s GL312g circuit breakers using g³ insulating and switching gas instead of SF₆.

• An industry first, two global leaders in power technologies have entered into a non-exclusive, cross-licensing agreement that will allow them to expand their range of high-voltage equipment using a game-changing gas alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆)
• SF₆ an insulating and switching gas commonly used in high-voltage electrical equipment, is a potent greenhouse gas
• This historic agreement announced just before Earth Day 2021 will enable utilities to accelerate their reduction of greenho

• Scotland’s SSEN Transmission awards GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions a contract for world’s first 420 kV g³ gas-insulated substation (GIS)
• GE Vernova’s g³ technology is a game-changing alternative to sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆), an insulating and switching gas commonly used in substation equipment and the most potent greenhouse gas in the world
• The development of the circuit breaker for the 420 kV g³ GIS is being co-funded by the EU’s LIFE Programme, which supports actions a
