Earth Day milestone: GE Vernova Foundation announces grant to bring green spaces to Boston

6 min read
  • $250K grant to create four new parks in underserved Boston-area communities.

  • Revitalizing public spaces for 40K residents in Dorchester, Roslindale, and Mattapan.

  • Announcement made as GE Vernova rings NYSE Opening Bell ® in celebration of Earth Day.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (April 22, 2025) – As the world celebrates Earth Day, the GE Vernova Foundation today announced a new grant program focused on green spaces, an expansion of its commitments to growing stronger, more resilient communities and creating long-lasting environmental benefits through innovation and partnership. The announcement was made from the New York Stock Exchange where foundation and company leaders from across GE Vernova were honored to ring the Opening Bell ® in recognition of Earth Day.

To kick off the initiative, the Foundation committed a $500,000, two-year grant to the Trust for Public Land (TPL) - $250,000 of which will be allocated to helping bring green spaces to underrepresented communities in the Boston area. This grant will support TPL’s Parks for People program and will aim to revitalize public spaces in Dorchester, Roslindale, and Mattapan, providing nearly 40,000 Boston residents access to a green space within a 10-minute walk. GE Vernova opened its headquarters in Cambridge in 2023.

“These new parks and schoolyards will help foster stronger, healthier communities and provide local students and residents with much-needed green spaces,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “At GE Vernova, we are powered by the energy of change, and this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community resilience, helping to create a brighter future for all.”

“Investing in vibrant, welcoming green spaces isn’t just about parks - it’s about building healthier, stronger neighborhoods for generations to come,” said Jodi Valenta, Massachusetts Program Director for Trust for Public Land. “With support from the GE Vernova Foundation, we’re transforming park access in Boston, bringing nearly 40,000 people outdoor access close to home. Projects like the Edgewater Trail and Archdale Community Greenspace will create new opportunities for communities to connect with nature, stay active, and enjoy the benefits of the outdoors.”

The park projects are “shovel-ready” and set to be initiated and completed within the next 12 to 24 months. All projects are based on a participatory design process, resulting in hundreds of residents exploring environmental and sustainability concepts, landscape, and outdoor design, creating entire communities of conservationists. The projects will incorporate infrastructure such as catch and release stormwater systems to reduce flooding, tree canopies and rain gardens showcasing native plants.

As the Foundation continues to grow, our goal is to continue putting the company’s purpose - The Energy to Change the World - into practice by expanding this program’s reach to the global communities where our employees live and work.

  • $250K grant to transform 10 schoolyards into vibrant green spaces.

  • Creating outdoor spaces for 35K students and local residents across Atlanta.

  • Announcement made as GE Vernova rings NYSE Opening Bell ® in celebration of Earth Day.

ATLANTA, GA. (April 22, 2025) – As the world celebrates Earth Day, the GE Vernova Foundation today announced a new grant program focused on green spaces, an expansion of its commitments to growing stronger, more resilient communities and creating long-lasting environmental benefits through innovation and partnership. The announcement was made from the New York Stock Exchange where foundation and company leaders from across GE Vernova were honored to ring the Opening Bell ® in recognition of Earth Day.

To kick off the initiative, the Foundation committed a $500,000, two-year grant to the Trust for Public Land (TPL) - $250,000 of which will be allocated to Atlanta, home to one of GE Vernova’s largest U.S. sites. The grant will fund TPL’s Community Schoolyards program, and will support Atlanta Public Schools by transforming 10 schoolyards into new green spaces, providing nearly 35,000 students and residents access to a green space within a 10-minute walk.

“These schoolyards will foster healthier, more vibrant communities, providing students and residents with access to nature,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “At GE Vernova, we are powered by the energy of change, and this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community resilience, helping to create a brighter future for all.”

“In too many communities in and around Atlanta - especially in lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color - access to the outdoors remains out of reach,” said George Dusenbury, Georgia State Director for Trust for Public Land. “With the GE Vernova Foundation’s support, we’re changing that by transforming schoolyards into vibrant, green spaces that serve students and the entire community. These reimagined schoolyards provide nearly 35,000 students and residents with a safe place to play, connect, and enjoy the outdoors - right in their own neighborhoods.”

The schoolyard projects are “shovel-ready” and set to be initiated and completed within the next 12 to 24 months. All projects are based on a participatory design process, resulting in hundreds of students exploring environmental and sustainability concepts, landscape, and outdoor design, creating the next generation of conservationists. The projects will incorporate infrastructure such as catch and release stormwater systems to reduce flooding, tree canopies and rain gardens showcasing native plants.

In addition to funding, the Foundation will host a volunteer event at Fickett Elementary School in Atlanta to prepare the schoolyard and engage employees in environmental stewardship. As the Foundation continues to grow, our goal is to continue putting the company’s purpose - The Energy to Change the World - into practice by expanding this program’s reach to the global communities where our employees live and work.

GE Vernova’s HA-powered Goi Thermal Power Station adds 2.3 GW of electricity to contribute to the stable supply of electricity in Japan

7 min read
  • The third block of Goi Thermal Power Station, powered by Japan’s first-ever 9HA.02 gas turbines, achieved commercial operation at the Chiba Prefecture, part of the Greater Tokyo Area 

  • The plant adds over 2.3 gigawatts (GW) of power, amounting to the equivalent needed to power 2.2 percent of Japan homes 

Tokyo, Japan – (April 17, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that the Japanese joint venture Goi United Generation (GIUG)’s Goi Thermal Power Station achieved the start of commercial operation in Chiba Prefecture, part of the Greater Tokyo Area. The joint venture comprises Japan's largest power producer by capacity JERA, ENEOS Power and regional utility Kyushu Electric Power. The plant, powered by three GE Vernova 9HA.02 gas turbines, the first of its kind installed in Japan, is expected to deliver more than 2.3 Gigawatts (GW) to the grid to help provide reliable electricity and the stable supply of electricity in Japan.

In addition to the gas turbines, for this project, GE Vernova delivered three GE Vernova Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs), with the Pressure Part Modules built in GE Vernova’s factory in Changwon, South Korea and delivered each HRSG in only three prefabricated Supermodules assembled in Tongyeong, South Korea, and then transported across the ocean to Japan. The HRSG plays an important part in a combined cycle power plant as it uses heat from the gas turbine exhaust to generate super-heated steam, which powers a steam turbine to create up to 50% more energy without any additional fuel.

The installation of advanced GE Vernova HA equipment and Toshiba's steam turbines and generators renewed the power plant initially built in the 1960s and retired in 2018, enabling an estimated 16 percent reduction of CO2 emissions compared to the old facility.

“The commissioning of this plant marks the completion of the construction of one of the largest LNG-fired power plants in Japan, with an output capacity amounting to the equivalent to the power needed by 2.2 percent of homes in Japan” said Mr. Sato of Goi United Generation CEO. “Providing safe and reliable electricity while contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions is crucial. GE Vernova’s HA gas turbines are engineered to enable high output and efficiency and the new plant will help support Japan’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions per unit of fuel.”

GE Vernova worked with Toshiba to integrate the currently largest HRSG Supermodules in the world at the Goi plant following a very complex, and safely delivered, transport from South Korea to Japan. Each Supermodule weighs approximately 2,500 metric tons and measures between 43 to 46 m in height, almost as tall as The Arc de Triomphe in Paris or a 15-floor building. Despite space limitations and logistical challenges, GE Vernova and Toshiba jointly adapted to unique circumstances, and successfully delivered these Supermodules and completed the Goi plant.

“In Japan, GE Vernova continues to support the advancement of the country's energy goals, working alongside our long-term customers GIUG” said Ramesh Singaram, President & CEO for GE Vernova’s Gas Power Asia. “In addition, GE Vernova has a longstanding cooperation with Toshiba over 100 years, fostering numerous milestones together and the safe transport, installation and commissioning of our 9HA.02 gas turbines and our HRSG Supermodules is a great example of that. We’re proud that equipment of that size and tailored to withstand earthquakes was delivered to the Goi site safely—where it can play a crucial role supplying electricity for Japanese homes and businesses.”

With an installed base of more than 7,000 gas turbines and 1,300 HRSGs worldwide and significant technical expertise, GE Vernova delivers gas turbines and HRSG solutions that are custom engineered to help meet customers’ operating flexibility and performance requirements.

Over the last 130 years, GE Vernova has contributed towards Japan’s stable power supply by providing power generation equipment including gas turbines, steam turbines, nuclear reactors, hydro and wind turbines. GE Vernova equipment currently provides about half of Japan’s gas power capacity and supports the country’s growing renewable and nuclear energy needs. Initiatives that GE Vernova is driving together with key players in Japan include the development of more efficient and advanced gas turbines and hydrogen combustion capable equipment, and technology for ammonia combustion in collaboration with IHI.
