Notes to editors

*Decarbonization as used in this article is intended to mean the reduction of carbon emissions on a kilogram per megawatt hour basis.


Ammonia is utilized today in industrial applications such as the production of fertilizer.  When used as a carrier for hydrogen, ammonia enables a more efficient and lower-cost pathway for transport and storage. In addition, ammonia is expected to be utilized directly in power generation as a carbon-free fuel, since ammonia contains no carbon, it does not emit carbon dioxide when burned and may therefore enhance the power sector’s efforts in reducing carbon emissions. (Note:  any air-based combustion, even if operating on a carbon free fuel, will emit a trace amount of carbon dioxide based on the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.)

WASHINGTON D.C. (February 24, 2026) – GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE) have signed an agreement to advance the Polish generic design of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR). The Poland Generic Design Agreement (PGDA) was signed during a ceremony today in Washington D.C. Participants included U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy James Danly, Poland’s Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyka, Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure and Deputy of Minister of Energy Wojciech Wrochna, as well as representatives from GVH, OSGE and SGE.

Following the contract signature, OSGE will invest in the development of a detailed BWRX-300 design that will serve as a reference design for SMR projects in Poland.

“This agreement sends a strong signal that the U.S. commitment to Poland’s energy security remains steadfast,” U.S. Deputy Secretary James Danly said. “The Intergovernmental Agreement with Poland anchors our civil nuclear cooperation and provides a valuable framework to foster public-private partnerships strengthened today.”

“Poland has the potential to become a European leader in Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology,” Polish Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyka said. “A further decisive step toward that objective has just been taken. To ensure a stable, zero-emission power system and predictable market conditions for industry, we are advancing in parallel both large-scale nuclear power plants and small modular reactor technology. SMRs provide critical baseload support for energy-intensive industries, contribute to price stability for end-users, and represent a powerful growth stimulus for the Polish nuclear supply chain. In the context of steadily increasing electricity demand, the deployment of both technologies is essential.”

“This is a decision of strategic importance for Poland’s energy transition,” Polish Secretary of State at the Ministry of Energy Wojciech Wrochna said. “The generic design constitutes the cornerstone for building a standardized reactor fleet under a repeatable deployment model. Standardization translates into lower unit capital expenditures and enhanced cost competitiveness. It also creates a significant opportunity to strengthen domestic industrial capabilities and to secure meaningful participation of Polish companies in the execution of advanced nuclear technology projects.”

“This investment by OSGE is a game-changer for the future of nuclear energy in Poland,” said Jason Cooper, CEO, GVH. “Advancing the generic design of the BWRX-300 to accelerate its deployment in Poland is another example of what can be achieved with shared vision and investment.” 

“The agreement concluded today provides for the design of a nuclear power plant in accordance with Polish regulations,” said Rafał Kasprów, CEO of OSGE. “It will be applicable to the deployment of a fleet of BWRX-300 reactors across multiple locations in Poland. This project approach, which forms a core element of OSGE’s strategy, will enable significant cost reductions through design standardization and the development of a robust supply chain. As a result, it will lower the cost of electricity for the Polish power system and, ultimately, for end consumers.”

Momentum around the BWRX-300 continues to build globally. The first BWRX-300 is under construction at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site in Canada, with completion expected by the end of the decade, which will make it the first small modular reactor in the Western world. Key components like the reactor pressure vessel are being manufactured, and site construction is progressing according to plan.

Lincoln Electric System expands Terry Bundy Plant with GE Vernova gas turbines

4 min read
  • Two LM6000VELOXunits expected to add approximately 100 MW of flexible capacity by 2029

  • Strengthening grid reliability through advanced aeroderivative technology

     

  • Project builds on GE Vernova’s longstanding collaboration with electric municipalities and cooperatives to help meet growing community demand

ATLANTA, GA – (February 16, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that it has secured a contract with Lincoln Electric System (LES) to supply two LM6000VELOX* aeroderivative gas turbine packages for the Terry Bundy Generating Station (TBGS) in Lincoln, Nebraska. The new units are expected to expand the plant’s current output by approximately 100 megawatts (MW), helping to meet the region’s rapidly growing electricity demand driven by population growth and expanding residential and commercial needs.

Scheduled to become operational in 2029, the expanded generating station is expected to deliver up to approximately 100 MW at ISO conditions once the new turbines are online. The LM6000VELOX technology aims to enhance both efficiency and operational flexibility, strengthening the plant’s reliability while supporting LES’s long term generation strategy.

This project builds on a long and successful collaboration between GE Vernova and Lincoln Electric System, reinforcing a shared commitment to dependable, high performance and more sustainable energy solutions for the community. The expansion supports Nebraska’s evolving energy mix, where electricity generation has historically been heavily reliant on coal (approximately 43% in 2024), alongside a strong and growing presence of wind power (around 32%).

“We trust GE Vernova because of their proven aeroderivative solutions and deep expertise we have experienced over the last twenty years, starting with the first three aeroderivative units installed at the plant,” said Jason Fortik, LES vice president of Power Supply. “These turbines give us confidence that we can expand capacity while maintaining the efficiency and reliability our customers expect.”

The highly efficient LM6000VELOX aeroderivative gas turbine provides a quick start up time in ten minutes to full power and operational flexibility with a high cyclic life which helps to stabilize the grid and reduce the risk of power supply shortages.

“This project reflects the strength of our collaboration with Lincoln Electric System and our shared focus on serving the community,” said Dave Ross, CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in the America’s pole. “We are proud to help meet the Lincoln –area's growing energy demand with efficient technology that can provide reliable power for homes and businesses.”

With more than 40 million operating hours and over 1,300 units shipped worldwide, LM6000 gas turbines have more operating experience than any other aeroderivative gas turbine greater than 40 MW. The units offer greater than 99% start and operational reliability and over 98% availability.

5 min read
  • Multi‑Year investment underscores GE Vernova’s commitment to workforce readiness and supporting the energy transition

     

  • Houston Learning Center expansion and technology upgrades increase training capacity and effectiveness to support growing global demand

     

  • Collaborations with local school districts create real‑world career pathways for students 

HOUSTON – (February 12, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today unveiled new education collaborations with three Houston area school districts, and the completion of a major modernization of its Houston Learning Center (HLC), its flagship global training facility for power generation and services professionals.

The initiatives were announced in conjunction with the “Powering Progress: Honoring our legacy, building our future” event hosted at the facility and are part of GE Vernova’s broader, multi-year capital investment strategy across manufacturing, services, and innovation.

“GE Vernova is committed to helping build the workforce of the future and reflects our belief that world-class technologies require a world-class workforce,” said Steve Kessinger, Vice President of Global Services, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “By investing in facilities like the Houston Learning Center and expanding our training capabilities, we’re helping ensure our teams, customers, and partners are equipped to meet the growing global demand for highly skilled energy professionals to support the energy systems of today and tomorrow.”

The facility also serves as a cornerstone for GE Vernova’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) collaborations, helping introduce students and early-career talent to hands-on technical pathways in the energy sector. Serving thousands of learners annually, the HLC provides immersive training across gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, control systems and more.

The modernization of the HLC enhances GE Vernova’s ability to scale workforce training in support of its expanding global services footprint and installed base. By increasing training capacity and deploying advanced simulation and hands‑on learning environments, the Center helps accelerate technician readiness, reduces time to productivity, and supports the execution of long‑term service agreements. This scalable training infrastructure is designed to help meet growing customer demand, support services backlog growth, and reinforce GE Vernova’s ability to deliver reliable, high‑quality services across its global fleet.

GE Vernova’s HLC modernization includes:

  • an expansion of the facility, increasing its capability to train thousands of technicians, engineers, and customers annually,
  • enhanced classrooms, new simulation environments, and hands-on training bays anchored by the company’s flagship gas turbine, a 7HA.03, one of the most advanced power generation technologies in operation today.

“We’re proud to continue investing in advanced training assets and collaborations with local school districts like Deer Park, Channelview and Alief to strengthen our pipeline of talent needed to support customers today and the energy transition ahead,” added Jim Vono, One Field Services Leader, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “These collaborations aim to expose students to real-world industrial environments, advanced energy technologies, and career pathways in high-demand, technical fields.”

Deer Park Superintendent Tiffany Regan said, “This collaboration represents the future of Career and Technical Education. By working alongside GE Vernova, we’re creating clear, relevant pathways from school to career—pathways that culminate in meaningful employment for students upon completion of the experience.”

These workforce and training investments complement GE Vernova’s broader global capital strategy, including recent announcements to invest nearly $600 million in U.S. factories and facilities and additional investments in advanced repair capabilities and technologies.
