VERESEGYHÁZ, Hungary – July 27, 2026 — GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) is proud to mark the 25th anniversary of its Veresegyház facility this year, celebrating a quarter-century of excellence as the company’s largest Gas Power manufacturing base outside the United States. To honor this milestone, the company is announcing the modernization of the facility including an on-site solar park to bolster energy independence, new lean production lines and a commitment to workforce growth with plans to add more than 80 professionals over the coming years to support its increasing capacity.

The Veresegyház facility serves as a primary manufacturing and service hub for GE Vernova’s global Gas Power operations, specializing in the high-tech production and precision repair of critical gas turbine components. With advanced capabilities in robotic welding and specialized thermal coatings, the site functions as a vital center of excellence for both new equipment manufacturing and essential repair services.

Advancing sustainability through major solar park development. To support the long-term sustainability of these operations, the solar project is being conducted in phases as part of the company's transformation at the Veresegyház site. The first phase was successfully completed with the installation of a 2 MW solar car canopy, covering more than 500 parking spaces. In the current, second phase, a total of 14.5 MW of photovoltaic (PV) panels are being installed, alongside a 40 MWh battery storage system. This phase encompasses more than 21,000 PV panels covering over 15 hectares, with grid connection expected by this autumn.

Once fully operational, this integrated renewable energy system will allow almost 50% of the site’s current total annual electric energy consumption of 33 GWh to be covered by zero-emission, renewable energy. This significantly improves the plant's energy self-sufficiency and aligns with GE Vernova’s broader mission to reduce the carbon footprint of its global manufacturing operations. 

Modernizing operations with new lean production lines. This sustainability milestone coincides with a period of intense growth for the facility as it works to address the global electricity "investment supercycle". To meet surging demand, last year GE Vernova’s $24,5 million investment, supported by a planned significant contribution of the Hungarian Investment Promotion (HIPA), set the foundation for the site's ongoing modernization, which now includes the successful installation of new lean production lines and the commissioning of high-performance precision machinery. Additionally, five advanced coating booths equipped with vacuum furnaces are now operational to bolster repair and manufacturing output.

PARIS (17 juin 2026) – GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) et le fabricant canadien Velan ont annoncé aujourd’hui un partenariat visant à étudier les possibilités pour Velan de fournir des vannes d’isolement intégrées au réacteur (RIIV) et des vannes d’isolement de l’enceinte de confinement (CIV) pour les projets de petits réacteurs modulaires (PRM) BWRX-300 de GVH en Europe. Ces vannes sont des composants essentiels qui permettent de réguler le débit du fluide de refroidissement, d’assurer la sécurité de fonctionnement du réacteur et de garantir la fiabilité et la performance à long terme de la centrale. Cette annonce a été faite en présence de l’honorable Stephen Lecce, ministre de l’Énergie et des Mines de l’Ontario.

Cet accord prend appui sur l’expertise et les capacités acquises dans le cadre de la collaboration entre les deux entreprises sur le Projet de nouvelle centrale nucléaire de Darlington en Ontario, au Canada, où Velan participe à la mise en service du premier réacteur BWRX-300. Alors que les pays européens cherchent à renforcer leur sécurité énergétique, à répondre à une demande croissante en électricité et à progresser vers leurs objectifs de décarbonisation, GVH explore les débouchés liés aux petits réacteurs modulaires (PRM) sur plusieurs marchés, notamment en Pologne, en Finlande et en Estonie.

« L’un des principaux avantages du déploiement à grande échelle réside dans la possibilité de mettre à profit l’expérience acquise lors des premiers projets pour les suivants », a déclaré Amir Mujezinovic, responsable de stratégie chez GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy. « Notre collaboration avec Velan à Darlington nous a permis de développer des capacités susceptibles de soutenir les futurs projets liés au BWRX-300 en Europe. Alors que nous travaillons avec des clients dans toute la région, nous restons déterminés à maximiser la participation locale tout en tirant parti de fournisseurs éprouvés et de l’expertise acquise dans le cadre de projets déjà en cours. »

Le BWRX-300 est un PRM d’une puissance de 300 mégawatts, conçu pour fournir une électricité fiable et sans carbone. Ontario Power Generation (OPG) déploie actuellement cette technologie à son installation de Darlington, ce qui en fait le premier PRM à échelle commerciale en construction dans le monde occidental.

« L’ensemble de vannes représente l’un des équipements les plus critiques d’une centrale nucléaire; il est essentiel à un fonctionnement sûr et fiable et nécessite une ingénierie et une fabrication spécialisées, ainsi que des normes de qualité rigoureuses », a précisé Laurent Pefferkorn, premier vice-président chargé des ventes mondiales chez Velan. « Forte de son expérience dans le cadre du projet de nouvelle centrale nucléaire de Darlington et faisant fond sur plus de sept décennies d’expertise dans le domaine nucléaire, Velan occupe une position unique pour accompagner GE Vernova Hitachi en tant que partenaire de choix dans la mise en œuvre future des réacteurs BWRX-300 en Europe. »

La province de l’Ontario a soutenu le développement d’une chaîne d’approvisionnement nucléaire compétitive à l'échelle mondiale grâce à des investissements dans le projet de nouvelle centrale nucléaire de Darlington et dans l’ensemble du secteur nucléaire.

« Lorsque la province de l’Ontario s’est engagée à construire le premier petit réacteur modulaire (PRM) du monde occidental, c’était pour garantir un avantage du premier arrivé à nos travailleurs, à notre chaîne d’approvisionnement et à notre base industrielle », a déclaré Stephen Lecce, ministre de l’Énergie et des Mines. « En signant cet accord avec GE Vernova Hitachi et Velan, l’Ontario va fabriquer et exporter des composants nucléaires de fabrication ontarienne destinés au marché européen des PRM, en pleine croissance. Avec plus de 600 milliards de dollars d’investissements mondiaux prévus dans les PRM au cours des prochaines décennies, notre gouvernement dynamise la chaîne d’approvisionnement ontarienne et contribue ainsi à créer des emplois bien rémunérés pour les Canadiens. »
