GE Vernova now plans to invest up to $100 million in Pennsylvania over the next two years, adding approximately 700 new jobs across multiple factories in the state that will help modernize the grid for economic growth, strengthen domestic supply chains, and boost national security.

This new Charleroi factory expansion builds on the company’s $600 million multi-year investment announced in January, originally expected to create a total of 1,500 new jobs across numerous U.S. factories.

“Powering the grid is at the core of powering America’s economy,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “These new jobs and investment reflect our ongoing commitment to not only building critical grid infrastructure with American workers, but reindustrializing Pennsylvania’s proud manufacturing legacy. They will also help strengthen our domestic supply chain, improve national security, and boost global competitiveness by closing a crucial gap.”

“We are investing in Charleroi and our advanced grid technology because it complements the investments we've made in power generation,” Strazik continued. “For the US to lead in energy, manufacturing critical domestic grid infrastructure is just as important generation.”

In addition to the new investment in its Charleroi facility, GE Vernova also announced it has secured a full order to provide seven of its high efficiency 7HA.02 natural gas turbines to the Homer City Energy Campus. The facility, once the largest coal plant in Pennsylvania, will provide up to 4.4GW of electricity to power what will become a more than 3,200-acre natural gas-powered data center campus, designed to meet the growing artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) needs of the innovative technology companies shaping America’s digital future. The Homer City Energy Campus is expected to be completed in 2027. ***

“The Homer City project shows what smart energy investments can achieve — delivering more reliable, affordable power for all, creating thousands of skilled jobs, and positioning Pennsylvania to help lead the next era of AI,” Strazik added.

The approximately $100 million of new investments in Pennsylvania over the next two years are part of a larger $9 billion cumulative global capex and R&D investment plan through 2028 that was announced at the company’s Investor Update in December 2024.

Currently GE Vernova’s technology helps produce more than half of the power in the United States, and the company has more than 18,000 workers across 50 states and 18 U.S. manufacturing facilities.

GE Vernova to modernize key cross-border grid hub for TransnetBW in Germany

7 min read
  • GE Vernova to build critical substation in Germany to enhance reliability and handle increasing power flows

  • Strengthens cross-border power flows and renewable integration between Germany, France, and Switzerland.

  • Supports Europe’s energy transition by enabling more renewable energy to flow reliably across borders

Berlin, Germany (08 July, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has been awarded a contract by German transmission system operator TransnetBW to modernize the Kühmoos grid node - an important electrical substation in southern Germany that plays a vital role in cross-border power flows and regional grid stability. Once complete, the upgraded site is expected to enhance frequency regulation, voltage stability, and power exchange between Germany, France, and Switzerland.

Strengthening a Strategic Grid Node

Located near the Swiss border, Kühmoos serves as a critical transmission hub and connection point for two major pumped-storage hydropower plants. As part of Germany’s broader effort to strengthen grid infrastructure the modernization of Kühmoos aims to increase the capacity and reliability of the substation to support the integration of renewable energy and rising power flows across interconnected European networks.

Scope of GE Vernova’s Work

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business will lead turnkey delivery of a new 380 kV gas-insulated substation (GIS), replacing the existing air insulated switchgear, doubling capacity within a significantly smaller footprint while maintaining live operations throughout construction. The project includes 15 bays of compact GIS technology a 4 Main Busbar System, allowing for more flexible, secure, and space-efficient power distribution.

The project also integrates a mechanical switched capacitor with damping network (MSCDN) - a technology that helps regulate voltage and reduce losses, especially as more high-power flows move through the grid.

Dr. Rainer Pflaum, CFO at TransnetBW, said: “At the substation Kühmoos of TransnetBW, we are reinforcing a vital energy hub for both Germany and our neighbouring countries, France and Switzerland. The collaboration with GE Vernova supports our ambition to expand and future-proof our transmission network while continuing to operate reliably and safely. This modernisation is therefore a major milestone in the transformation of our grid, ensuring the electricity supply in south-western Baden-Württemberg.”

“This is a landmark project for the region and a proud moment for GE Vernova,” said Johan Bindele, Vice President and CEO of Grid Systems Integration at GE Vernova. “Modernizing critical grid nodes like Kühmoos is essential for supporting the long-term reliability of Europe’s power system, especially as countries expand their use of renewables and seek greater interconnection across borders. Europe is our largest market for Electrification, and we are deeply committed to supporting its energy transition. We are honored to support TransnetBW in building grid infrastructure that is both future-ready and resilient.”

Supporting Europe’s Grid of the Future

Europe is rapidly scaling up its renewable energy ambitions, with the EU power sector expected to generate around 70% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and nearly 90% by 2050, according to the latest IRENA outlook. To reach these targets, grid modernization, accelerated infrastructure investment, and better cross-border coordination are critical. Recent insights from the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Energy Transition Index also underscore the urgent need to improve system flexibility and resilience, especially as electricity demand rises. Projects like Kühmoos - designed to enhance transmission capacity, system stability, and cross-border connectivity - are essential enablers of Europe’s energy transition and long-term competitiveness.

GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business is a global leader in delivering advanced technologies that connect, stabilize, and protect the grid. With this contract, the company reinforces its longstanding presence in Europe and ongoing commitment to building the resilient infrastructure needed to power the energy transition.

Phantom Power: Saudi Arabia Joins the Condenser Revival as the Kingdom of Oil Pursues Big Solar

Gregor Macdonald
Nighttime image of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Share

The 2020s have a lot in common with the 1920s when it comes to the buildout of electrical power. Back then, grids were largely driven by coal, which was polluting, to be sure, but offered stability to big, national electrical systems with power plants that often ran uninterrupted for long periods of time. Then came hydropower, with its distant electrical power generators. Power engineers, trying to figure out how to transmit power from faraway places, developed an unusual machine called a synchronous condenser.
