In 2025, as GE Vernova celebrated one full year as a standalone company, the company took ideas that were only recently on the drafting board and put them into action. From small modular nuclear reactors to advanced grid software to a high-voltage superhighway on the Baltic Sea, a new world of innovations is emerging to electrify and decarbonize the world. Take a look at how 2025 was the year GE Vernova began making the future come alive today.
Eyes of the Storm: When Severe Weather Looms, This GE Vernova Team Is Ready to Deploy
People haven’t figured out how to control the weather, but they’re getting better at predicting it. Read how GE Vernova can see potentially devastating storms coming and get out ahead of them using GridOS, a software that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to help utilities better prepare for and respond to disruptions.
Power Couple: How GE Vernova and ANYbotics Are Transforming Energy Industry Asset Inspections
Robot dogs are here, and just as heroic as Lassie. The ANYmal, from robotics company ANYbotics, can inspect assets that can be dangerous for humans, such as pipelines, gas turbines, and tight spaces in oil refineries. Learn how GE Vernova jumped in with cloud computing to synthesize the data ANYmal gathered to improve safety, cost savings, and efficiency.
Revolutionizing Lower-Carbon Power Generation with Carbon Capture at Net Zero Teesside Power
This year, GE Vernova began preparing, with partners Technip Energies and Balfour Beatty, to build a giant power plant with integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Teesside, England. Learn about the world’s first large-scale gas power plant designed with carbon capture built right into its core, eliminating emissions before they even leave the plant.
Phantom Power: Saudi Arabia Joins the Condenser Revival as the Kingdom of Oil Pursues Big Solar
The old is new again: With the rise of renewables and growing electrification, phantom power — reactive power that can wreak havoc on energy grids — is also increasing. This is a problem that the Saudi Electric Company needs to solve as it moves toward solar power. The solution: synchronous condensers, a 1920s technology that is returning to help stabilize the grid.
The world needs nuclear power to meet rising energy demands with lower emissions. Small modular reactors (SMRs) like the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 are a safe way to scale up power capacity quickly. The company began construction this year on first SMR in the Western world, scheduled for completion by 2029 at the Darlington nuclear facility, outside Toronto.
“Water” we gonna do about hydro plants? Hydropower is the backbone of energy grids, but many plants urgently need updates. Brazil’s 41-year-old Itaipu is one of the largest hydro facilities in the world. Read about the major technological update that GE Vernova is collaborating to execute over the next 14 years. These digital innovations will make the plant more secure and efficient.
Data centers are multiplying with the rise of AI — and fast. They require tons of power, but, like other energy-reliant facilities, they’re facing lengthy queues to plug into the grid. To move faster, many are turning to on-site, flexible natural gas turbines like GE Vernova’s LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbines.
Electron Autobahn: As More Wind Power Comes to Northern Europe, a Grid Superhighway Is Taking Shape
The Baltic Sea is known for its intense storms — and Germany is taking advantage with large offshore wind farms to harness the wind power. Discover how, to get that power to shore, GE Vernova partnered with DryDocks World on Ostwind 4, a project to build a large high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system to help achieve Germany’s goal of using 100% renewables by 2045.
The wind industry’s infrastructure is showing its age, and thousands of turbines need replacing in the near future. In places like Texas’ Pyron Wind Farm, GE Vernova is accomplishing this through its Repower program. See how Repower replaces old equipment with the newest technology to keep wind turbines spinning with minimal interruption.
The next generation of power industry leaders are already out there, and GE Vernova is putting $50 million over five years into efforts to delevop their talent. The new climate alliance with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology combines GE Vernova’s advanced technology expertise with MIT’s world-class research. Read about the alliance’s 13 projects already underway to solve some of the world’s most urgent energy and climate challenges.
