6 min read
  • 29 GE Vernova LM2500XPRESS* aeroderivative gas turbine packages are expected to help meet Crusoe’s fast-growing energy needs

  • Units will be equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology to mitigate emissions, making them among the lowest emitting gas turbine technologies available today

  • Units can work in concert or independently, providing massive flexibility to provide needed power quickly 

ATLANTA (July 22, 2025) - GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) and Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider, today announced a significant deal to deliver 29 units of GE Vernova’s breakthrough LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbine packages to Crusoe AI data centers.

The announced order of 19 units, booked in June 2025, builds on the first series of 10 units Crusoe ordered in December 2024, and combined, is expected to provide nearly 1GW of electricity. These orders highlight GE Vernova’s ability to provide flexible and efficient power to energy intense data centers supporting AI applications.

"AI's exponential growth demands rapidly deployable power solutions. Crusoe’s capabilities as an energy-first digital infrastructure builder have positioned us well to take the issue of power into our own hands by rapidly building and operating power plants alongside AI datacenters. With their flexible and efficient technology, GE Vernova power generation equipment was an ideal choice to enable power plant strategies across Crusoe’s growing datacenter development portfolio," said Cully Cavness, co-founder, president and COO of Crusoe. “We’re building AI factories at record speed, and GE Vernova’s technology is a key enabler, significantly accelerating the path to energization for our customers and partners.”

These aero units provide the flexibility and reliability of modern, efficient jet engines used by airlines around the world thousands of times per day. Just like the throttle of an airplane, these units can ramp up and down rapidly. The already low emissions from these units are further reduced by SCR technology. This technology removes emissions through a catalytic converter transforming nitrogen oxides into water vapor and nitrogen, producing 90% lower emissions than traditional gas or diesel-powered reciprocating engines with little to no methane slip.

“This project clearly illustrates our ability to provide the right solutions for data centers and power applications of all sizes and scales,” said Pablo Koziner, GE Vernova’s Chief Commercial and Operations Officer. “From a single aero unit producing ~35 megawatts to this 29-unit project, to our industry leading HA heavy duty gas turbines to small modular nuclear reactors, we have the full suite of generation options to help meet today’s and tomorrow’s energy needs.”

LM2500XPRESS units

The LM2500XPRESS units are engineered for swift and straightforward site installation, with 95 percent factory assembly into simplified modules. A single 35-megawatt LM2500XPRESS aero unit has a higher power density, reliability and availability when compared to other technologies in prime or standby applications and the capacity to offer savings on real estate, switchgear, transformers, and overall site footprint. Each of GE Vernova’s LM2500XPRESS, dual fuel, power packages is comprised of a LM2500* aeroderivative gas turbine, gas compressor, and emissions control system, and is capable of starting independent of the power grid with five-minute fast start capability.

GE Vernova to support modernization of Rio Tinto’s Isle Maligne hydropower plant in Canada

5 min read
  • GE Vernova and Rio Tinto are collaborating to upgrade eight turbine-alternator units at the plant

  • The project aims to enhance the performance and lifetime of the nearly 100-years old plant

  • The modernization will help Rio Tinto supply energy for its five low-carbon aluminum smelters in the Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec

BROSSARD, CANADA (June 26, 2025) GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has secured an order from Rio Tinto, one of Canada's largest private producers of hydroelectricity, for the upgrade of eight turbine-alternator units at the Isle Maligne hydropower plant in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada. The plant features twelve Francis hydropower units in total.

The modernization of this nearly 100-year-old hydropower plant is expected to enhance the performance of the units and their lifetime for decades to come. It will help Rio Tinto supply energy for its five low-carbon aluminum smelters facility in Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean.

Last year, under a previous agreement, GE Vernova modernized one generator at the Isle-Maligne plant. After that, Rio Tinto and GE Vernova made the decision to issue a more holistic approach for the modernization of the remaining eight turbine-alternator units. This larger and longer-term scope will enable early engagement and close collaboration between the two companies. It gives the visibility needed to plan, design, and secure the supply chain, providing Rio Tinto with an optimized project schedule and reduced total cost of ownership, while ensuring efficient and timely project execution. The first unit modernization in expected in 2026 and the last one by 2032.

This project is the result of the longstanding collaboration between Rio Tinto and GE Vernova, which involved work on several hydropower plants located in the province of Quebec, Canada, such as Shipshaw.

Sébastien Ross Managing Director for Atlantic Operations, Rio Tinto Aluminium said: “The Isle-Maligne hydroelectric power plant has been a strategic asset for Rio Tinto for 100 years, drawing on the expertise and dedication of multiple generations of employees and business partners. This major investment to modernise our facilities will ensure the long-term future and competitivity of our low carbon aluminium production in Quebec for decades to come for our Canadian and American customers.’’

Frederic Ribieras, Hydro Power CEO, GE Vernova, said: “This modernization project at the Isle Maligne plant is a testament of how we can achieve greater efficiency and performance without altering the core infrastructure. And, this long-term collaboration will be critical to help secure the supply chain in a capacity-constrained market, with pressure on the industry to execute on many projects.”

Canada has one of the least carbon intensive energy systems in the world, in large part thanks to hydropower, which supplies around 60% of the country’s electricity needs. However, the average age of hydropower plants in Canada is 53 years old. By 2050, electricity demand is expected to double in Canada. Modernizing its existing hydropower fleet will be essential to meet that growing demand with clean and reliable power.

In Canada, GE Vernova’s team of over 2,000 talented employees, backed by a legacy spanning more than 130 years, is driving meaningful change by supporting our customers from coast to coast to coast with power generation, transmission, conversion, storage, and orchestration solutions.

GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy to establish Canadian small modular reactor engineering and service centre in Ontario

6 min read

TORONTO (June 23, 2025) - GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) today announced plans to establish a cutting-edge Canadian BWRX-300 Engineering and Service Centre in Durham region near the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Darlington New Nuclear Project site.

The Company intends to invest up to $50M USD on the facility, pending further development and construction of three additional units at the Darlington New Nuclear Project site. 

The planned facility will be used to provide engineering and technical services to support the long-term operation and maintenance of the anticipated fleet of BWRX-300 small modular reactors (SMR) in Ontario. It will also serve as a hub for innovation and training, knowledge-sharing, supply chain engagement and workforce development. It is expected to draw up to 2,000 nuclear professionals, suppliers and international partners to Ontario annually, bringing significant economic benefits to the Durham region.

Plans for the engineering and service centre for the BWRX-300 SMR were announced today during an event with Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce.

“The Canadian BWRX-300 Engineering and Service Centre will bolster Ontario’s position as a nuclear leader and further cultivate Canada’s nuclear energy workforce with an industry-leading training ecosystem,” said Heather Chalmers, President & CEO, GE Vernova Canada. “This Ontario-based hub will provide the province with continued access to the best and brightest talent and innovation in the nuclear energy industry while complementing global efforts for deploying the BWRX-300.”

“Ontario is proud to lead the world in next-generation nuclear innovation, creating good-paying local jobs, training thousands of skilled workers and delivering clean, reliable power for decades to come,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “By locking in this investment from GE Vernova we are reinforcing our plan to make Ontario a clean energy superpower where our workers build with Canadian materials, operate with Canadian expertise and export the clean technology the world needs.”

The announcement follows the Ontario government’s approval to proceed with construction of the first of four BWRX-300s at the Darlington site, making Ontario the first jurisdiction in the G7 to approve construction of a grid-scale SMR. Construction of the first unit is scheduled to be completed by the end of the decade.

The planned engineering and service centre will include a state-of-the-art virtual reality simulator and provide training capabilities to support safe and efficient SMR refueling and maintenance evolutions. The facility will develop advanced maintenance and inspection technologies tailored to the simpler SMR units and serve as an outage planning and execution preparation center for BWRX-300 reactors.

Plans call for the engineering and service centre to be operational by the end of 2027 to support the deployment and servicing of a fleet of BWRX-300s. In addition to its nuclear business, the centre will have the capability to support other GE Vernova businesses, bringing further economic benefits to the Durham region. This centre will complement GVH’s operations in Wilmington, N.C.

IHI and GE Vernova complete large-scale combustion test facility for ammonia gas turbine development

7 min read
  • Under a Joint Development Agreement signed in 2024, IHI Corporation and GE Vernova continue to develop a new gas turbine combustor aiming to enable GE Vernova’s F-Class gas turbines to burn up to 100% ammonia by 2030

  • A series of ammonia combustion tests in the new facility at IHI’s Aioi Works in Hyogo, Japan is expected to accelerate the development of the new gas turbine combustors starting in the summer of 2025

  • Project is expected to play an important role in the energy transition to burning fuels with less or zero CO2 emissions when combusted

TOKYO, JAPAN – CAMBRIDGE, MA (June 23, 2025) – IHI Corporation (IHI) and GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) announced today the completion of a new Large-scale Combustion Test facility (LCT) at IHI’s Aioi Works facility in Hyogo, Japan.

This facility is expected to play a crucial role in advancing the capabilities of next-generation combustion technologies using ammonia, a derivative from hydrogen, which is carbon-free, and when combusted the gas turbine would not emit any net CO2 emissions. The new test facility is engineered to test advanced combustion systems at GE Vernova’s F-class gas turbine operating conditions, including pressure, temperature, and both air and fuel flow rates.

“This milestone marks a significant step forward in the joint technology roadmap sealed with a Joint Development Agreement in 2024 aiming to lead to a 100% ammonia capable combustion system by 2030” said Kensuke Yamamoto, IHI Executive Officer, VP of Business Development Division and GM of Ammonia Value Chain Project Department. “IHI has developed a 100% ammonia firing gas turbine IM270 (output 2MW) and will level the technology to develop large-scale combustion technology. IHI’s combustor development role lies this new flagship test facility, which will be a crucial hub for IHI’s and GE Vernova’s project. The establishment of the LCT underscores IHI’s and GE Vernova’s commitment to driving innovation in more sustainable energy solutions, with ammonia as a promising fuel for future power generation.”

Starting in the summer of 2025, IHI plans to conduct rigorous combustion tests using full scale prototype combustors operating on 100% ammonia, aiming to develop a commercially viable gas turbine by 2030. The collaboration between the two companies includes synergies across IHI ammonia combustion expertise and GE Vernova global technical teams, and shared best practices developed at GE Vernova’s advanced combustion test facility in Greenville, South Carolina, USA.

“This announcement signals a shift from initial studies on the ammonia value chain to the practical implementation of technologies and engineering projects, aiming to decarbonize power generation by using ammonia as a fuel,” said Jeffrey Goldmeer, GE Vernova Senior Director, Technology Strategy. “This marks a new phase of collaboration between GE Vernova and IHI, with the goal of developing decarbonization pathways that safeguard existing power generation investments.”

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 fertilizer, chemical raw material. When used as a carrier for hydrogen, ammonia enables an efficient, lower-cost 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.
