GE Vernova’s HA Turbine Fleet Shoulders the Load, Hits 3 Million Hours of Cumulative Runtime

Gregor Macdonald
Turbine on a factory floor

Share

A decade ago, disruptive change came to power grids. Aging coal plants in Europe and the U.S., some in operation since World War II, began to retire. Saddled with high maintenance costs, coal plants were shuttered throughout the developed world. In their place rose new fleets of wind turbines, dotting the American plains from Texas to Iowa. In Europe, wind power blossomed onshore but also extended its reach offshore, thriving in the Continent’s notoriously stormy seas.

GE Vernova announces first commercial operation of its LM6000VELOX* package at Dominion Energy’s Bushy Park facility in South Carolina

7 min read
  • Dominion Energy South Carolina’s Bushy Park Combustion Turbine facility is home to GE Vernova’s first LM6000VELOX* package in commercial operation globally

     

  • Advanced aeroderivative solution replaced older generation peaking units to help enable a more reliable, flexible, and efficient power supply

     

  • LM6000VELOX, including an LM6000* aeroderivative gas turbine and a generator, is factory assembled into simplified modules for a faster and easier site installation and commissioning

ATLANTA, GA (February 13, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today Dominion Energy’s Bushy Park Combustion Turbine (Bushy Park CT) facility achieved the start of commercial operation in Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA on November 1, 2024. The 52 megawatt** (MW) Bushy Park CT #1, powered by a GE Vernova LM6000VELOX* package solution including an LM6000* gas turbine and generator, marked the first LM6000VELOX package plant solution in operation globally.

GE Vernova introduced the LM6000VELOX package in 2023 aiming to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbines by up to 40%, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The enhancements incorporated in the new package aim to also reduce site construction delays for power generation utilities, EPCs, and other industry stakeholders.

The new LM6000VELOX, along with two other units ordered for Dominion Energy’s Parr facility in Fairfield County, South Carolina that are currently under construction, replaced older peaking generation units which help the company meet demands during peak energy usage. In addition to supporting peak usage periods, these fully dispatchable units complement solar generation on days when sunshine is limited or intermittent throughout the day. The Bushy Park and future Parr units incorporate an array of operational flexibility capabilities including dual-fuel capabilities, fast-starting, synchronous condensing, and black start. GE Vernova’s scope of supply included selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalyst systems, which coupled with dry low exhaust combustion, enable best-in-class air emissions performance without the need for water injection.

“Achieving commercial operation of the Bushy Park project demonstrates our continued commitment to providing safe, reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy in the communities we serve,” said Keller Kissam, President of Dominion Energy South Carolina. “Investments in flexible, efficient units are critical to meet growing loads in one of the fastest growing states in the country and complement the large amounts of intermittent solar on our grid.”

“This project marks the first time this solution is in operation globally and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone with Dominion Energy“ said Dave Ross, President and CEO for GE Vernova's Gas Power business in the Americas. “This aeroderivative solution can provide dispatchable and lower carbon-emitting power compared to older units, and also important black-start capability necessary for restoring power after a blackout.”

GE Vernova is a leading supplier to Dominion Energy, which contributes to meeting the electricity needs of approximately 3.6 million customers in Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,300 units shipped, the LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is a leader in the +40 MW space. In addition to the two LM6000VELOX packages currently being installed at Dominion Energy’s Parr facility, there are ten LM6000VELOX packages being installed at Tennessee Valley Authority’s Johnsonville Aeroderivative Power Plant in the Middle of Tennessee with an expected start of operation in 2025. Recently, GE Vernova also announced the first LM6000VELOX packaged solution that is expected to start operation on 100 percent hydrogen at Whyalla hydrogen power plant in Australia in 2026.

This partnership empowers us to accelerate recovery, provide essential services, and help families regain stability and hope. Together, we’re rebuilding not just homes, but futures.”

Late last year, the GE Vernova Foundation announced a total of $500,000 in grants to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, with $250,000 immediately donated to the American Red Cross. Today’s announcement marks the donation of the remainder of the funds in the initial announcement.

In addition, GE Vernova employees who donate to relief organizations such as Operation Helo, the American Red Cross, Americares, CARE, St. Bernard Project, Team Rubicon and other participating relief organizations can register for a match with the GE Vernova Foundation’s Matching Gifts program, which supports employees’ personal philanthropy and charitable giving by providing a 1:1 match.

5 min read
  • America’s leading energy manufacturer expected to create more than 650 new factory and engineering jobs in the Upstate

  • Expansion at company’s Greenville factory will help meet surging customer demand for electricity equipment at home and abroad

  • Investments to support capacity growth, quality, industrialization and delivery efforts, and new testing capabilities with hydrogen fuel

GREENVILLE, SC (January 29, 2025) – With global energy needs forecasted to double, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), America’s leading energy manufacturing company, announced plans today to invest more than $160 million and hire more than 650 new employees at its Greenville facility.

The substantial investments – the largest since the company’s spinoff in April – will help meet soaring customer demand, strengthen domestic supply chains, and continue developing cutting-edge American technology that helps power the world. The investments will also help enable U.S. energy affordability, security, resilience, and competitiveness while enabling the American manufacturing footprint to support global exports.

“These investments will have a significant impact on the Upstate today and for years to come,” said Shane Long, Supply Chain Leader, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “Beyond the immediate jobs additions and capacity expansion, this investment will allow Greenville to maintain and strengthen its position as the world’s center of gas turbine manufacturing.”

The investments in Greenville are part of a larger nearly $600 million planned investment across the U.S. the company announced earlier today and are the first part of a larger $9 billion cumulative global capital and R&D investment plan through 2028 across the company’s facilities in the U.S.

Currently GE Vernova has more than 2,500 workers in the state. This includes manufacturing, engineering and many other specialties. The factory has produced gas turbines for markets across the U.S. and globally since 1968.

Last year, Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova, announced plans to increase global capacity of heavy duty gas turbines more than 25% to meet robust demand. Today’s announcement is in addition to the $35 million the company invested in the facility last year.

GE Vernova to invest in Pittsburgh facility for expansion of Electrification presence

6 min read
  • America’s leading energy manufacturer expected to create more than 270 new jobs and scale production of inverter technology for solar and energy storage

PITTSBURGH, PA (January 29, 2025) - GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), America’s leading energy manufacturing company, today announced it is planning to invest more than $10 million in its Pittsburgh facility over the next two years to expand capabilities across its Electrification segment. This includes funding to house a new domestic manufacturing line for the company’s FLEXINVERTER, a key technology for utility-scale solar and energy storage applications. This total investment is expected to create more than 270 new jobs.

The investment comes as GE Vernova launches its new Power Conversion & Storage business, one of the three business units within GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. The new business unit, a combination of two previously separate businesses, Power Conversion and Solar & Storage Solutions, is a response to the increasing demand by customers for power stability and energy storage solutions driven by the increases in renewable power generation, as well as the continuous electrification of energy intensive industries.

“Expanding our Pittsburgh operations reflects our commitment to building a robust domestic supply chain for electrification technologies,” said Ed Torres, GE Vernova’s Power Conversion & Storage Business Leader. “This investment not only reinforces our role in supporting the energy transition but also aims to create jobs in the heart of the U.S. industrial base. As part of GE Vernova’s Electrification segment - our fastest-growing division with immense potential - Power Conversion & Storage expects to play a critical role in building the electrification backbone essential for achieving world climate goals.”

By localizing production, GE Vernova aims to address critical supply chain challenges, aligning with national priorities to strengthen U.S. energy independence while supporting decarbonization goals.

Pittsburgh Facility Expansion: Supporting U.S. Renewable Growth
The new GE Vernova FLEXINVERTER manufacturing line is designed to produce both 1500V and 2000V FLEXINVERTER models, which enable utilities to seamlessly connect renewable energy sources to the grid, ensuring stable and consistent energy supply for homes and businesses.

With a footprint of more than 2.7 acres (11,000 square meters), the expanded Pittsburgh facility will also boost engineering and field operations for sectors including steel, oil and gas, marine, and renewable energy. The investment reinforces GE Vernova’s commitment to providing advanced energy solutions that lower operational costs and enhance grid stability.

Driving the Energy Transition
The launch of Power Conversion & Storage further demonstrates GE Vernova’s leadership in accelerating the U.S. energy transition. With innovations like the 2000 kV FLEXINVERTER and RESTORE DC Block, the company is setting new standards for utility-scale renewable energy solutions.
