  • New investments are anticipated to double valve manufacturing capacity and enhance HVDC transformer production.

  • Expansion supports renewable energy projects across Europe, Asia and North America and accelerates the UK’s energy transition.

  • The company is hiring hundreds of additional engineers and skilled employees locally to support valve assembly and testing. 

Stafford, UK (September 24, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced the expansion of its existing manufacturing facilities in Stafford, UK. The expansion is aimed at supporting the fast-growing demand for High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems that will help power renewable energy projects throughout Europe, Asia and North America, while also supporting the UK’s energy transition.

The expansion focuses on two key sites of its Electrification Systems’ Grid Solutions business in Stafford:

  • Stafford HVDC Facility at Redhill – HVDC and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) valves: This facility is anticipated to double its valve manufacturing capacity to support the growing demand for HVDC systems with the installation of an additional Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) valve assembly line. The valves, considered the "heart" of an HVDC converter station, enable the optimal transmission of power from offshore wind farms and other renewable energy sources to the grid.
  • Stafford Transformer Facility at Lichfield Rd – HVDC converter transformers: This site will undergo significant upgrades to boost capacity and enhance its ability to produce HVDC converter transformers, critical for integrating renewable energy into the grid. Transformers produced at this site have recently been installed in the North Sea to support the 1.4 GW Sofia Offshore Wind Farm.  

"Helping our customers deliver sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy to people worldwide is central to GE Vernova’s mission," said Philippe Piron, CEO of GE Vernova’s Electrification Systems business. "By expanding our Stafford operations, we are strengthening our ability to support the energy transition in the UK and the rest of the world and creating new jobs as a result.”

This expansion marks GE Vernova’s second major round of investment in its Stafford site. In 2018, the company constructed one of the world’s most advanced HVDC valve test facilities and a control system testing facility, which now supports large-scale testing and validation of HVDC systems for projects across Europe and beyond.

As part of this expansion, GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business expects to have created around 600 new jobs in the UK from 2023 to the end of 2025, including hundreds of engineers and skilled craftsmen to support the assembly and testing of the valves.

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business recently signed an agreement to supply HVDC systems for five of TenneT’s offshore wind projects. These projects are part of the Dutch-German Transmission System Operator’s goal to connect 40 GW of offshore wind farms to the high voltage grids in the Netherlands and Germany. The valves and the transformers technology for these projects are planned to be manufactured at the Stafford facilities, further emphasizing the strategic role of these sites in Europe’s energy transition.

GE Vernova operates three manufacturing sites in Stafford. In addition to the HVDC site and the Transformer site, the UK’s only large-scale grid manufacturing facility, it also has a Grid Automation site at Redhill. The ongoing expansion ensures that Stafford continues to be a critical hub for the production of clean energy technologies, supporting both local and overseas energy needs.

GE Vernova has 120 years of experience in the UK, with more than 30% of the UK’s electricity generation through its equipment. Outside of Stafford, GE Vernova runs another major manufacturing facility in Rugby.

GE Vernova releases inaugural Sustainability Report

9 min read
  • GE Vernova’s first Sustainability Report offers comprehensive overview of company’s mission to electrify and decarbonize the world

  • Outlines four-pillar sustainability framework - Electrify, Decarbonize, Conserve, and Thrive - with leading goals aimed at aligning business performance with sustainability performance

  • Launches approach to sustainability operations through a new management system called “Control Room”

  • Key metrics from 2023 include bringing 29 GW of generating capacity online, energizing 64 GW of new power transformers, helping avoid approximately 20 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions, and reducing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 39% vs. 2019 baseline

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (September 18, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today released its first-ever sustainability report as a stand-alone company, detailing how it is making progress on its mission to electrify and decarbonize the world. The report explains GE Vernova’s innovative approach to sustainability and outlines ambitious goals built around a four-pillar framework – Electrify, Decarbonize, Conserve, and Thrive. The report also offers an overview of GE Vernova’s broad portfolio of energy solutions across Power, Wind, and Electrification segments, as well as its Accelerator businesses.

“GE Vernova’s purpose and mission to electrify and decarbonize the world has never been clearer or more urgent,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “Sustainability is at our core as a company and as a team. We see incredible opportunities for our sustainability framework to create economic value, growth, and performance while at the same time serving the world.”

Some key highlights from the four-pillar sustainability framework include:

  • Electrify:
    • As a company whose technology base helps generate approximately 25 percent of the world’s electricity, the company brought online an additional 29 GW of generating capacity in 2023, roughly equivalent to the total installed generating capacity of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, with 42% in emerging economies.
    • Energized 64 GW of new power transformers, enabling new transmission capacity roughly equivalent to the installed generating capacity of Thailand.
  • Decarbonize:
    • Introduced for the first time, metrics to demonstrate near term progress on improving the trajectory of carbon intensity. These metrics include avoiding approximately 20 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions in first full year of operation from generating capacity brought online last year by using lower-carbon technology[i]. This is roughly equivalent to taking 4.8 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
    • Updated the company’s progress toward its 2050 net zero ambition and its efforts on four breakthrough technologies - hydrogen, carbon capture, direct air capture, and small modular reactors - aiming to be brought into service by the early 2030s. The report also highlights GE Vernova’s more than 150 current Research and Development projects, with over 420 technology collaborators and 84 programs either funded by or in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy.
  • Conserve:
    • Reduced Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions by 39% through its own operations achieved by implementing energy efficiency projects at the site level and renewable energy purchases.
    • Introduced circularity approach, centered around our 4R circularity framework (rethink, reduce, reuse, and recycle), which accounts for the full product life-cycle phases of our products, with a goal to have 90% of its top products covered under Framework by 2030.
  • Thrive:
    • Conducted more than 600 total global audits, approving approximately 580 suppliers following its Supplier Responsibility Governance (SRG) program, which assesses a potential supplier’s practices regarding ethics, compliance, sustainability, human rights, and EHS issues.
    • Donated over 20,000 GE Vernova employee volunteer hours, with more than 1,300 global non/profits supported. In addition, the Next Engineers program successfully facilitated over 7,500 student engagements across cities across the world including, South Carolina, U.S.; Johannesburg, South Africa; and Staffordshire, UK.

The new report expands on the company’s sustainability efforts and its approach to sustainability operations through a new management system called “Control Room.” Modeled after the complex nerve centers that manage the world’s most complex machine, electrical grids, this sustainability management system builds on a rigorous corporate DNA of lean, governance, impact assessments, and sustainability education, all targeting goals aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

“We recognized that we needed to build a new, modern sustainability program for a new, modern sustainability company.” said Roger Martella, GE Vernova’s Chief Sustainability Officer and head of Global Policy. “Our new Control Room encompasses our comprehensive approach to sustainability, including our Sustainability Framework, guiding principles, stakeholder engagement, and employs Lean to accelerate and sustain higher levels of performance through continuous improvement.”

6 min read
  • The Joint Venture intends to develop over 1 GW of renewable energy projects in Italy to support the country’s electrification and decarbonisation goals. 

  • Alva Power will benefit from GE Vernova’s project financing and development expertise and from Lizard Renewables’ extensive network of strategic regional relationships

LONDON, UK (September 16, 2024) – GE Vernova’s (NYSE: GEV) Financial Services business and Lizard Renewables S.p.A. (“Lizard”), a prominent renewable energy company in Italy, today announced the establishment of Alva Power, a strategic 50-50 Joint Venture (“JV”), to support Italy in its electrification and decarbonisation goals by funding renewable energy project development.

As the demand for energy increases, Italy is looking to decarbonise its energy ecosystem through continued investment and capacity buildout to meet its targets of 30% renewables in total energy consumption, and 55% of renewables in electricity generation by 2030.[1]

Alva Power’s initial goal is to progress development of over one gigawatt (GW) of project capacity to a ready-to-build stage across wind, battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) and photovoltaic (“PV”) solar, which Lizard has already selected and prepared for this venture.

In the near-term, the JV will focus on co-development of renewable energy projects including onshore wind in Italy, with GE Vernova having a priority right to supply equipment and services to the projects. The JV will also explore further project development opportunities outside of the country in the medium to long-term future.

Alva Power is expected to benefit from GE Vernova’s global financial and technology expertise and from Lizard’s extensive network of strategic regional collaborations with leading companies, to support new renewable energy project initiatives.

Guilherme Carvalho, European Renewables Leader at GE Vernova’s Financial Services business, said: “We will collaborate with Lizard to harness our collective energy portfolio across our Wind and Electrification segments to support development of renewable energy projects to a shovel-ready stage in Italy. We have vast experience in providing technology solutions supported by co-development and financing solutions throughout a renewable energy project lifecycle. We look forward to supporting Italy in its electrification and decarbonisation goals through our energy finance and technology expertise.”

Marco Salvato, General Manager of Lizard Renewables, commented: “Being able to announce a joint venture with GE Vernova is a source of great pride for us and a concrete testimony to the attractiveness of our offering and what we have built over the years. Alva Power will enter an already solid market with strong growth prospects, benefiting from the synergies between the two companies and the tailwinds of national and European energy policies. Our goal is to further strengthen European renewables growth trajectory with a specific focus in Italy.”

GE Vernova reaffirms full year 2024 guidance and provides segment updates

8 min read

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (September 12, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) Chief Executive Officer, Scott Strazik, will present today at the 12th Annual Morgan Stanley Laguna conference in Laguna Beach, California at 8:10 AM PDT.  Strazik will discuss the company’s strategic progress and the robust demand for power generation, services, and grid equipment.

As part of today’s event, GE Vernova reaffirms its full year 2024 financial guidance, with revenue trending towards the higher end of $34-$35 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin* of 5%-7%, and free cash flow* of $1.3-$1.7 billion. The company expects incremental strength in its Power and Electrification segments, with both trending towards the higher end of EBITDA margin guidance, to offset additional costs in its Wind segment, due to the recent Offshore Wind blade events.

For third quarter 2024, GE Vernova still expects solid year-over-year organic revenue* growth with adjusted EBITDA* now relatively flat versus prior year, as a result of the additional Offshore Wind costs. The Wind segment is now expected to generate an approximately $300 million EBITDA loss in the third quarter 2024 given these costs, despite Onshore Wind delivering a fifth straight quarter of profitability. The company expects the Wind segment to be modestly profitable in the fourth quarter.

Additional updates Strazik will share include how Power is expanding capacity to enable delivery of 70 to 80 heavy duty gas turbine units annually starting in 2026, compared to the recent average of approximately 55 shipments annually. Given the strong demand for grid equipment, GE Vernova expects the Electrification equipment backlog1 to more than triple by year end 2024, compared to the $6.4 billion backlog at year end 2022.

Finally, GE Vernova will host an investor event on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, in New York City, to provide an update on the company’s financial outlook and capital allocation strategy.
