The Bahamas (May 22, 2025) — GE Vernova Inc (NYSE: GEV) announced its trailer mounted TM2500* mobile aeroderivative solution is expected to bring fast and reliable power at the Bahamas to support possible peak summer demand and mitigate power shortages. Surpassing all previous records, more than 9,6 million tourists visited the island in 2023, with a relevant impact on power demand since the country has only about 400,000 inhabitants. Bahamas Turbines Limited (BTL), a subsidiary of FOCOL Holdings Limited, ordered two TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine packages to expand temporarily its Clifton Piers power plant located in New Providence Island, Bahamas.

“Electricity is a necessity that adds massive value to modern life: our aeroderivative mobile solutions can provide power fast and almost anywhere, on or off the grid,” said Dave Ross, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in the Americas. “As a company with a strong commitment to Caribbean and Central America’s development and a presence of over fifty years in the region, we are proud to help BTL increase their generation capacity and work towards providing more reliable power for their growing communities and crucial tourism sector.”

Despite its renewable potential, the Caribbean has a long history of fossil-fuel dependency and utilizes heavy fuel oil (HFO) and diesel for most of their power generation. Solar energy has always been another alternative of power for The Bahamas, but in order to make it reliable, it requires a very stable grid to connect to.

“Building on GE Vernova’s ability to support the growing need for fast power through the immediate availability for shipment of their TM2500 aeroderivative mobile gas turbine and plant equipment, we turned to GE Vernova as technology of choice for our needs for fast, flexible, and mobile power,” said Dexter Adderley, President & Chief Executive Officer

FOCOL Holdings Limited. “As more renewables come online and introduce intermittency into the grid, the deployment of GE Vernova’s trailer mounted aeroderivative gas turbine package expected to deliver up to 30 megawatts (MW) of electricity can support the improvement of frequency control of the grid. Two additional units will help reduce power outages and eventually facilitate the connection of more renewable generation.”

GE Vernova’s aeroderivative solutions are helping power plant operators in the region, like BTL, transition from HFO to a solution that can burn less carbon emitting fuels, like natural gas or diesel. GE Vernova’s TM2500 units offer high flexibility to support the grid. Each TM2500 unit can reach full production capacity in few minutes, which enables power providers to increase power generation quickly to help meet peak demand and ramp down units to avoid wasting energy when demand is lower.

TORONTO (8 mai 2025) - GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) a annoncé aujourd’hui l’autorisation par la province de l’Ontario et Ontario Power Generation (OPG) de la construction du premier petit réacteur modulaire (PRM) BWRX-300. Cette autorisation ouvre la voie à la construction prochaine du premier des quatre réacteurs BWRX-300 prévus sur le site de Darlington d’OPG, dont la mise en service est prévue d’ici la fin de la décennie.

« En déployant le premier petit réacteur modulaire BWRX-300, l’Ontario montre la voie à l’échelle mondiale dans le domaine des PRM », a déclaré Maví Zingoni, PDG, secteur de l’énergie, GE Vernova. « Notre collaboration avec OPG et les partenaires du projet servira de référence pour l’industrie nucléaire mondiale. »

« Alors que le monde envisage d’adopter la technologie des PRM, nous sommes fiers de nous lancer dans la construction du premier BWRX-300 avec OPG, AtkinsRéalis et Aecon », a affirmé Lisa McBride, responsable pays pour le Canada, GVH. « La chaîne d’approvisionnement de l’Ontario devrait contribuer de manière significative à ce projet, apportant des avantages économiques substantiels à la province, notamment la création de milliers d’emplois pendant la fabrication, la construction et l’exploitation. »

Les travaux préliminaires de préparation du site à Darlington sont terminés. En avril, la Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire a accordé à OPG un permis pour la construction de la première unité.

D’une capacité de 300 MW, le BWRX-300, une conception de 10^e génération, s’appuie sur des décennies d’expérience pratique et d’innovation dans le domaine des réacteurs à eau bouillante, utilisant une conception standard, un modèle de livraison éprouvé et l’expérience de GVH en matière de collaboration réglementaire transfrontalière.

GE Vernova est présente au Canada depuis plus de 130 ans et son soutien à l’industrie nucléaire canadienne remonte au début des années 1950, lorsque l’entreprise a contribué à la construction de la première centrale nucléaire canadienne, le réacteur de démonstration nucléaire, qui est devenu la base de l’ensemble de la flotte CANDU.
