GE Vernova study delivers a roadmap for how Italy can still meet 2030 and 2050 climate targets

6 min read
  • White paper sets out two scenarios for Italy’s power sector, showing that only accelerated renewable deployment, storage, and grid investment can deliver climate goals on time. 

  • In this white paper, GE Vernova proposes a roadmap for how to still meet 2030 and 2050 targets. Two futures, two outcomes: Only a Renewable Ambition pathway enables Italy to meet both 2030 and 2050 targets. A Business-as-Usual trajectory risks missing 2030, driving higher costs and greater reliance on imports.

  • Grid as the decisive factor: Without urgent transmission upgrades, Italy could waste 82 TWh of renewable energy by 2050 – approximately 16% of national demand.

MILAN, ITALY (October 15, 2025) — Italy’s energy future is at a crossroads. A new white paper from GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), Navigating the Energy Transition: Pathways to Net Zero in Italy, shows that while the country is at risk of missing its 2030 goals, a clear roadmap can deliver both 2030 and 2050 climate targets — if decisive action is taken now.

Recent analyses across Italy’s energy sector warn the country is not on track for near-term milestones, and they set out the reasons: renewables are growing too slowly, grid capacity is constrained, and permitting remains a bottleneck. GE Vernova’s study provides a roadmap for how Italy can still meet its targets, with two quantified scenarios that highlight the choices ahead.

“2030 is Italy’s make-or-break moment,” said Jim Walsh, Vice President of GE Vernova’s Consulting Services. “This study provides a roadmap to success: the numbers, the scenarios, and the solutions that show how Italy can still achieve its decarbonization goals, while capturing the economic and industrial benefits of the transition.”

With electricity demand expected to rise by 60% by 2050 due to electrification, the study evaluates two scenarios for Italy’s power sector:

  • Renewable Ambition: This pathway requires wind and solar capacity to double to 90-100 GW by 2030 and expand to approximately 200 GW by 2050. It also calls for at least 40 GW of battery energy storage, 13–17 GW of CCGTs with carbon capture, 8 GW of nuclear SMRs, and urgent completion of the Hypergrid transmission projects. This technology mix, along with some other critical permitting and regulation enablers, is a pathway that achieves both 2030 and 2050 climate targets. 

  • Business-as-Usual: A slower trajectory for renewable growth combined with heavier reliance on CCS, hydrogen-capable gas, and imports. Italy may still achieve net zero by 2050 but will miss 2030, exposing the system to higher costs and greater dependency on external supply.

The grid is the decisive factor. Without accelerated transmission upgrades, renewable curtailment could reach 82 TWh annually by 2050—equivalent to approximately 16% of projected national demand. Even with Terna’s planned Hypergrid projects, additional reinforcements will be required to bridge the gap between renewable-rich southern regions and demand-heavy northern centers.

The economic stakes are significant. A slower trajectory would increase reliance on imports, heighten consumer exposure to volatile fuel costs, and may undermine Italy’s industrial competitiveness.

The full white paper is available here.

GE Vernova and PROTEC celebrate graduation of Next Engineers: Engineering Academy class

7 min read
  • 43 learners graduate from programme designed to inspire the next generation of engineers

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (October 10, 2025) – Next Engineers, a global college- and career-readiness programme working to increase the opportunities for young people in engineering, celebrated the graduation of 43 learners from the Engineering Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa. The graduation ceremony, held at The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, marked the programme’s second graduating class and highlights its contribution towards bridging the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills gap in the country through exposing learners to hands-on engineering experiences and career pathways.

The 43 learners, representing 15 high schools across Johannesburg, were joined by their families to celebrate their achievements. Many of these learners plan to pursue engineering-related qualification at universities and technical institutions. Launched in 2022, PROTEC, University of Witwatersrand, and Kutitiva Foundation are the educational partners for the local Next Engineers programme. GE Vernova engineers and employees play an active role by engaging with Engineering Academy participants through hands-on, skill-based volunteering. In the 2024 calendar year, its Johannesburg-based employees donated over 680 hours to these efforts.

“We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of this year’s graduates and commend their dedication to pursuing careers in engineering,” said Matsi Eseu, South Africa HR Director for GE Vernova. “Supporting young talent through programmes like Next Engineers is central to GE Vernova’s mission. In Johannesburg, we see first-hand how these opportunities empower students to unlock their potential and contribute to solving real-world challenges. We are honored to play a role in shaping a more dynamic future for engineering in South Africa.”

Learners who complete the Engineering Academy program and enroll in a qualified engineering or engineering-related degree programme receive financial aid to support them as they continue on their paths to becoming engineers. To date, the Next Engineers programme in Johannesburg has reached nearly 4,100 learners and awarded $36,000 in scholarships to qualifying graduates. In addition, locally, GE Vernova awarded an additional $83,000 in scholarships to ten graduates through the country’s External Bursary Programme.

Dr. Nomalungelo Gina, Deputy Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, said: “I applaud PROTEC for its role in promoting STEM education and helping to develop a cohort of young people who represent the core of our future workforce. You have chosen to be the bridge between potential and opportunity for many young people in our country. You reach places that, for a variety of reasons, government programmes may not always reach - our rural communities, under-resourced schools, and marginalized groups. Your programmes continue to ignite curiosity, nurture the raw talent and open doors for young people who would otherwise be left behind. Your mentorships, youth clubs, bootcamps, and your efforts to bring scientific experiments and floating laboratories to those who have never seen a science laboratory in their lives is a transformative experience. You have helped a young girl in a village believe she can be an engineer and shown a boy from the township that coding is not only for those in affluent urban centres; careers in engineering are meant for them as well. Let us therefore commit, collectively, to building the science, technology, and engineering foundations that will carry our continent into a future we will co-create. As government, we are your ally; we do not see you as gap-fillers, but as catalysts for transformation.”

“We’re proud to celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s Engineering Academy graduates. Their drive and curiosity exemplify the promise of South Africa’s next generation of engineers,” said Balan Moodley, CEO of PROTEC. “We are grateful to GE Vernova for their vision and commitment in making this program possible. Together, we have helped deliver opportunities that have contributed to empowering young minds."

STEM training and education, such as Next Engineers, is helping to solve global challenges while also lifting up communities through economic opportunities. GE Vernova’s commitment to nurturing future STEM talent in South Africa extends beyond Next Engineers: through its External Bursary Programme, the company has provided comprehensive bursaries totaling $7.3 million (R128.5 million) to more than 900 beneficiaries pursuing Bachelor’s degrees in Science, Commerce, and Arts since 2020 to date. These bursaries help alleviate the financial burden for tertiary students, covering tuition, accommodation, textbooks, and monthly stipends for the duration of their studies.

GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Samsung C&T form strategic alliance to advance deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor

7 min read

WILMINGTON, North Carolina (October 7, 2025) – GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and Samsung C&T, a leading construction and engineering company, have announced a strategic alliance to advance the deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in strategic global markets, outside North America. The two companies will focus their collective efforts on developing the supply chain and project delivery solutions for GVH’s SMR. Further, they will work together in the potential deployment of five BWRX-300s in Sweden.

“With the first unit of our BWRX-300 under construction in Canada, we are well positioned to lead the deployment and scale of the SMR industry,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO Power, GE Vernova. “This collaboration with a leading player like Samsung C&T, which has a solid track-record of helping to deliver nuclear projects safely, on-time and on-budget, will further strengthen the BWRX-300 position among the most advanced, deployment ready, and lowest risk SMR technology available today.”

“This agreement marks a strategic collaboration where Samsung C&T and GVH aim to become global leaders in the nuclear power segment. The collaboration will capitalize on Samsung C&T's extensive experience in nuclear power and infrastructure project execution, combined with GVH's validated technological expertise,” added Se-chul Oh, Samsung C&T CEO.

The first BWRX-300 is under construction at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site in Canada, with completion expected by the end of the decade, which will make it the first small modular reactor in the Western World. Key components like the reactor pressure vessel are being manufactured, and site construction is progressing according to plan.

Additionally, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted and is reviewing Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) application to construct the first BWRX-300 in the U.S., at the utility’s Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE) has selected Włocławek as the site for Poland’s first SMR. In Sweden, Vattenfall has down-selected the BWRX-300 as it evaluates the construction of new reactors adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on the Värö Peninsula.

Each BWRX-300 can 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.

Samsung C&T’s Engineering & Construction Group has more than 40 years of engineering and construction experience operating throughout the world. The group spans commercial and residential buildings, civil infrastructure and plant construction. Its landmark projects include Burj Khalifa - the world’s tallest building, the ongoing Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia, the Qurayyah 4,000MW CCPP Project, and the ongoing Qatar 2,000MW Solar Power Project.  In the nuclear energy sector, the company has successfully delivered 12GW across 10 units, including the 5.6GW Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE. It has recently undertaken the Nuclear Power Plant refurbishment project and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), demonstrating its global competitiveness in large-scale reactor and SMR technologies, and solidifying its expertise across all areas of the nuclear industry.

Last week, at Climate Week NYC, GE Vernova was an influential voice in shaping the global conversation on smarter, more sustainable energy — highlighting the need for breakthrough solutions and urging bold leadership to meet accelerating demand. While the UN General Assembly drew headlines across town, GE Vernova contributed to the “Power On” theme at Climate Week by announcing recent advances in nuclear and carbon capture, and promoting a message of optimism, urgency, and collaboration.
