6 min read
  • GE Vernova to deliver two SF₆-free 420 kV gas-insulated substations (GIS) in Norway, utilizing its g³ technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

  • The substations are expected to modernize Norway’s grid, increase capacity, and enable the electrification of Melkøya Island, home to Equinor’s Snøhvit gas field and Hammerfest LNG plant

  • These two substations demonstrate GE Vernova's g³ gas technology, widely adopted by multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), as a leading SF₆-free solution for high voltage switchgear from 72.5 kV up to 420 kV

Hammerfest, Norway (May 21, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced the forthcoming deployment of two high-voltage 420 kV sulfur hexafluoride - free (SF6-free) gas-insulated substations (GIS) for Statnett SF, Norway’s Transmission System Operator (TSO), and Equinor ASA. Awarded in the fourth quarter of last year, the contract covers the design, supply, and installation of GIS units at Skaidi and Hyggevatn as part of Statnett’s 420 kV transmission line project—an important milestone supporting Norway’s energy transition and decarbonization effort.

The Skaidi substation involves upgrading the existing facility, while the Hyggevatn substation will be a completely new installation. Together, they aim to modernize Norway’s electrical grid, increase capacity, and electrify Melkøya Island, home to Equinor’s Snøhvit gas field and Hammerfest LNG plant. This initiative aligns with Statnett’s and Equinor’s commitment to achieving a sustainable energy transition while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The design of these next-generation substations will be based on GE Vernova’s g³ technology, which replaces SF₆ gas, a potent greenhouse gas commonly used in high-voltage equipment. The g³ technology is part of GE Vernova’s GRiDEA portfolio, a suite of decarbonization solutions that empower grid operators to meet their net-zero objectives. Launched in 2014, g³ gas shows an approximately 99% reduction in greenhouse gas contribution to global warming compared to SF₆, supporting the energy sector’s decarbonization goals.

Driving decarbonization of the grid across Europe

“This project in Norway is the latest of many contracts that we have signed for our new SF₆-free 420 kV T155g GIS since our first one in Scotland in 2020. GE Vernova’s g³ product portfolio has experienced strong commercial growth since the launch of our first SF6-free product, underscoring the trust placed in g³ by over 60 utilities in Europe and Asia,” said Eric Chaussin, Power Transmission Business Leader at GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. “This marks another important milestone in our journey to electrify and decarbonize the world’s grids. We are proud to support the climate ambitions of Norway.”

GE Vernova’s g³ technology roadmap covers a wide range of voltage levels, from 72.5 kV up to 550 kV. The EU Commission LIFE Programme recognized the potential of this innovative technology by co-funding the development of the SF₆-free 420 kV GIS interrupter under the "LifeGRID" project. The g³ technology is now enabling utilities to take immediate action to reduce the carbon footprint of their high-voltage power grids, supporting their decarbonization goals.

Statnett’s Skaidi and Hyggevatn substations are expected to become operational by 2029. GE Vernova has a  track record of successful GIS Substations in Norway, including in Oslo Smestad, Sogn, and Hamang.

Tennessee Valley Authority submits application for construction of first BWRX-300 small modular reactor in the U.S.

5 min read

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (May 20, 2025) – Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to construct a GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is the first construction permit application for a BWRX-300 in the U.S.

“TVA’s investment in the standard design of the BWRX-300 technology will accelerate its deployment, helping meet the rising demand for energy and enhancing energy security,” said Craig Ranson, President & CEO, GVH. “This milestone, in addition to this month’s decision by the Province of Ontario to build the western world’s first SMR, demonstrates that this technology is advanced and real.”

TVA has invested in the standard design of the BWRX-300 as part of a technical collaboration agreement with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Synthos Green Energy and GVH. TVA is also leading a coalition of utility companies and supply chain partners that has applied for an $800 million U.S. Department of Energy grant to accelerate construction of the nation’s first SMR.

Momentum continues to build around the global deployment of the BWRX-300. Earlier this month, the Province of Ontario and OPG announced approval to proceed with construction of the first BWRX-300 at OPG’s Darlington site near Toronto. A total of four BWRX-300s are planned for the site with construction of the first unit to be complete by the end of the decade.

In January, it was announced that Duke Energy has entered into an agreement to invest in activities to advance the standard design and licensing of the BWRX-300 SMR and that American Electric Power (AEP) has selected the BWRX-300 for potential deployment at the Indiana Michigan Power Rockport Plant in Spencer County, Indiana, pending approval of the DOE funding request that TVA is leading.

The BWRX-300 SMR represents a cutting-edge technology designed to deliver reliable and carbon-free power with enhanced safety and efficiency. Each BWRX-300 will provide approximately 300 MW of electricity, enough to produce the equivalent electricity needed to power 300,000 homes while significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with traditional nuclear reactors.

  • GE Vernova to expand electrification manufacturing and engineering capabilities in India with new facilities in Chennai and Noida.

  • New capacity to support HVDC and FACTS technologies for grid stability and renewable integration

  • Investment enhances local production, reduces supply chain dependencies, and supports export demand.

Delhi, India (May 14, 2025) GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) today announced plans to invest approximately USD $16 million in India to expand its electrification manufacturing and engineering footprint—specifically, advanced grid technologies that enable stable, reliable, and secure delivery of electricity.

The investment will be made by GE Vernova T&D India Limited (NSE: GEV T&D), the listed entity of GE Vernova’s Electrification business in India and includes the development of a new manufacturing line at its existing facility in Chennai (Pallavaram) and a new facility in Noida. These expansions are expected to enhance the ability of GE Vernova T&D India Limited to manufacture and test key next-generation equipment used in modern transmission systems, supporting both India’s energy transition and export demand from other fast-growing economies.

These new expansions will focus on High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS)—technologies that help stabilize power grids, reduce transmission losses, and make it easier to connect renewable energy like solar and wind. These systems are critical for getting renewable energy from where it’s generated—often in remote areas—to where it’s needed most: cities, industries, and communities.

“India continues to be a critical part of our global strategy—both for our customers and as a manufacturing hub,” said Johan Bindele, VP of Grid Systems Integration at GE Vernova. “GE Vernova’s Electrification equipment backlog has more than tripled over the past year—driven by strong demand for transformers, switchgear, and grid technologies including HVDC and FACTS. These new expansions are aimed at enhancing our capabilities in the region, helping reduce supply chain dependencies, and allowing us to deliver faster, smarter solutions to customers in India and around the world.”

“With energy demand rising and more renewables being added to the grid, the need for strong, smart, and flexible infrastructure has never been greater,” said Sandeep Zanzaria, Managing Director and CEO of GE Vernova T&D India Limited. “Through this investment, we are strengthening our ability to deliver technologies that help utilities move more power, with fewer losses, over longer distances—and do it more sustainably.”

Investment Details:

  • The new manufacturing line at the existing Chennai facility will produce Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC valves and Voltage Source Converter (VSC) Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) valves. 
    These valves are key components of advanced HVDC and FACTS systems. LCC is typically used for long-distance, high-capacity power transmission, while VSC is more suitable for connecting renewable energy sources and providing grid stability.
  • In Noida, GE Vernova T&D India Limited will set up a new engineering and test lab to support design and system validation for these solutions, as well as supply control systems ensuring quality and performance in real-world grid conditions.

The Noida lab is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, and the new manufacturing line in Chennai facility by early-2027.

Included within GE Vernova’s previously announced ~$4 billion cumulative capex plan through 2028, this investment is part of GE Vernova’s broader “Asia for Asia” strategy—focusing on building localized manufacturing capacity to better serve regional needs, while contributing to global supply chain resilience. It also supports India’s ambition to become a renewable energy leader by expanding access to “Make in India” technologies that power everything from homes to factories with more efficiency and less environmental impact.

GE Vernova T&D India currently operates five manufacturing facilities across the country and has served the Indian grid for over 100 years.

GE Vernova Hitachi’s BWRX-300 small modular reactor approved for construction by the Province of Ontario and Ontario Power Generation

5 min read
  • Construction of the first SMR in the Western world to begin soon

TORONTO (May 8, 2025) - GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH), today announced that construction of the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor has been approved by the Province of Ontario and Ontario Power Generation (OPG). The approval clears the way for construction of the first of four planned BWRX-300s at OPG's Darlington site to begin soon with completion of the first unit scheduled by the end of the decade.

“In deploying the first BWRX-300 small modular reactor, Ontario is leading the way globally in the deployment of SMRs,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power, GE Vernova. “Our work with OPG and project partners will serve as a benchmark for the global nuclear industry.”

“As the world looks to adopt SMR technology, we are proud to be embarking on construction of the first BWRX-300 with OPG, AtkinsRéalis and Aecon” said Lisa McBride, Canada Country Leader, GVH. “Ontario's supply chain is expected to contribute significantly to this project bringing substantial economic benefits to the province including the creation of thousands of jobs during manufacturing, construction and operation.

Early site preparation work at Darlington has been completed and in April the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission granted OPG a licence to construct the first unit.

The 300 MW BWRX-300, a 10th generation design, builds on decades of real-world boiling water reactor operating experience and innovation, using a standard design, a proven delivery model and GVH’s experience with cross-border regulatory collaboration.

GE Vernova has operated in Canada for more than 130 years and its support for the Canadian nuclear industry dates to the early 1950s when the company helped build the first Canadian nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD) reactor that became the basis for the entire CANDU fleet.
