This project is in line with the Enea Group’s Development Strategy 2035 and forms part of the company’s responsible energy transition plan. Implementation of the strategy is expected to reduce the Group’s emissions by 64% by 2035. Enea aims to become a fully climate-neutral company by 2050.

“The new generation units will play a key role in the transformation of Poland’s energy sector. At the same time, it is important for us that the project’s implementation will also provide a strong development boost for the region and create tangible jobs,” said Grzegorz Kinelski, President of the Management Board of Enea. “We estimate that the involvement of Polish companies in the project will reach around 75%. A portion of key components will be manufactured in Poland, and the project’s implementation framework ensures significant participation of Polish design, construction, assembly and installation companies, as well as Polish suppliers of equipment and technological systems. The new CCGT units in Kozienice will also contribute to stabilizing the national power system.”

For the Kozienice power plant, GE Vernova is expected to provide two blocks, each including a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, integrated Mark* VIe Distributed Control System (DCS) and a three-pressure level with reheat Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). The steam turbine and the generator will be manufactured locally in Poland, in GE Vernova’s factories in Elblag and in Wroclaw, respectively, while the gas turbine will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s Manufacturing Excellence Center in Belfort, France.

“Poland is poised to emerge as a model nation for the energy transition, as it stands on the brink of rapidly diversifying its energy sources,” said Joseph Anis, President & CEO for GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East & Africa. “Through this project, we’ll bring our cutting-edge combined-cycle power plant technology to help meet Enea’s objectives in terms of energy security, costs, and sustainability. We are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone as GE Vernova’s H-Class fleet has now exceeded 200 units of orders.

GE Vernova Charts a Path to a Reliable, Low-Carbon Energy Future for Germany

3 min read
  • New study/white paper identifies four priorities to align investment in generation, grid, and flexibility.

Berlin, 7 November 2025 - GE Vernova today offered solutions on how Germany can maintain a secure, affordable, and low-carbon electricity supply through 2035, following the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy’s (BMWE) latest Energiewende Monitoring Report and accompanying 10-Point Plan.

The company’s new white paper finds that Germany’s energy transition challenges such as renewable curtailment, grid congestion, and rising system costs cannot be solved by any single technology. Instead, they require an integrated system planning approach that links demand growth, renewable expansion, grid build-out, and dispatchable capacity into one coordinated framework.

“The Monitoring Report gets it right: Germany will need additional dispatchable capacity,” said Markus Becker, Executive Director, System Economics, GE Vernova’s Consulting Services. “The scale and timing, however, depend on how quickly flexibility, grid expansion, and demand evolve together. The answer is not one variable, it is how they work in concert.”

Building on this analysis, GE Vernova outlines four priorities for policymakers and planners as Germany implements the findings of the BMWE report:

  • Accelerate integrated system planning to align decisions on generation, transmission, and flexibility investments, ensuring reliability at the lowest total cost.
  • Scale flexibility and storage by expanding battery, demand-side, and digital solutions that make electricity demand an active contributor to system balance and help reduce renewable curtailment.
  • Deploy modern, efficient gas generation alongside technology-neutral decarbonization solutions, providing fast-response backup for renewables while enabling future decarbonization of thermal assets.
  • Advance market design for flexibility and adequacy by developing capacity and capability mechanisms that value firm capacity, fast response, and low-carbon flexibility together.

The paper also highlights the need for regional coordination within Europe’s interconnected power market and resilient supply chains for generation equipment, transformers, and grid infrastructure. Maintaining a strong domestic and European manufacturing base is key to ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.

The full white paper can be accessed here.

GE Vernova has played a central role in Germany’s power sector for more than 100 years. Its equipment and solutions support approximately 30 percent (46 GW) of the country’s installed capacity and continue to underpin efforts to modernize and decarbonize the German grid.
