CAMBRIDGE, MA (April 2, 2025) – On the one-year anniversary of its spin-off from General Electric, GE Vernova is launching its first-ever global brand campaign, "The Energy of Change". This visually striking, emotionally charged initiative highlights the opportunity, progress and momentum happening across the energy sector today. The campaign focuses on relentless optimism and how it is essential to innovation and delivering the critical energy technologies the world needs right now, as energy demand is expected grow by more than 50% in the next 20 years.

“At GE Vernova we know that breakthrough ideas require resilience, grit and a commitment to never giving up and seeing new ways forward - it’s how we’ve advanced our technology for more than 130 years,” said Kristin Carvell, GE Vernova Chief Communications Officer. “We are thrilled to debut our global brand campaign and celebrate the spirit and impact of relentless optimism and how it drives us as we continue our work to run the world on smarter energy every day.”

At the heart of the campaign is a bold, fast-paced film that symbolizes forward progress and showcases the technologies that are shaping the future of energy across each of GE Vernova’s three business segments: Power, Wind and Electrification. The Energy of Change campaign showcases the journey of innovation and how world-shaping change isn’t easy. As the film demonstrates, it’s about “fixing things, changing things, changing the way we fix things” – a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement and real action that drives results. The campaign uses the Japanese art of kintsugi – the art of breaking and repairing to create a more beautiful object - to symbolize the power of resilience and the art of the possible in the innovation process.

GE Vernova’s entrepreneurial edge is embedded in its name. GE Vernova retained its treasured legacy “GE” in the name as an enduring and hard-earned badge of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” / “verde” signal Earth’s verdant and lush ecosystems. “Nova,” from the Latin “novus,” nods to a new, innovative era of energy that GE Vernova is delivering.

The campaign also features three GE Vernova teammates from around the world representing each of its three business segments and a range of its technologies from the portfolio. GE Vernova’s cultural operating principles are symbolically woven throughout the film – its prioritization of safety (safety goggles vignette), its lean operating model focused on continuous improvement (kintsugi vignette) and a commitment to a One Team approach (abstract ‘motion art’ particles coming together to drive forward progress).

Launching today, the campaign will roll out globally across a mix of broadcast, streaming, out-of-home (OOH), social, and digital with major media placements timed around the NCAA’s March Madness tournament and will drive traffic to gevernova.com.

The campaign was developed in collaboration with Droga5 and Accenture Song Sustainability.

5 min read
  • TM2500 Dry Low Emissions (DLE) delivers power anywhere, whether on or off the grid without the need of water or diluents – ideal in remote areas or after natural disasters

     

  • The new “power plant on wheels” provides additional power output, in a smaller footprint and more efficiently, compared to the TM2500 gas turbine

     

  • TM2500 DLE is also more sustainable: it produces lower nitric oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions compared to the previous GE Vernova’s mobile solutions

ATLANTA, GA (March 31, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced its next generation of mobile aeroderivative gas turbines, “power plants on wheels” delivering

reliable and efficient power anywhere, whether on or off the grid. The new TM2500* Dry Low Emissions (DLE) is GE Vernova’s waterless, mobile 34MW power plant that offers higher-efficiency performance, up to 39 percent efficiency, with reduced NOx emissions and waste.

The mobile power solutions trend is being driven by a variety of factors. The global energy access gap worsens as population growth outpaces new connections: 76 million people are living without electricity access. The vast majority of that growth will happen in areas where the power grid is either very weak or does not exist at all. Another major driver is the need for emergency power for utilities, municipalities, datacenters and other industries. These industries rely on a stable power supply to grow and evolve. Finally, in an increasing number of countries, utilities are investing in rapid, highly mobile technology that can quickly bridge the power gap during blackouts, energy shortages or even natural disasters.

“The development of a decentralized energy network, where electricity is generated close to, or at, the point of use, also drives efficiency by reducing or eliminating energy losses from transmission and distribution, thus delivering both economic and environmental benefits.

With this new solution we are committed to offering customers across the world greater fuel and operational flexibility, coupled with increased sustainability,” said Clive Nickolay, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Aeroderivative business line. “The TM2500 DLE offers the same reliability of earlier models, but it is the first to operate without water and without any aftertreatment in emissions, as it produces lower nitric oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions –compared to the previous mobile solutions and almost no methane slip.

The modular TM2500 DLE’s is more compact and easier to ship. It is on a two-trailer frame that offers on-site flexibility and boasts a 30-day lead time from contract to commissioning. Once installed, the TM2500 DLE has a five-minute fast start cycle, ideal for rapid response to sudden changes in power demand or grid stability. The unit’s mobility and speedy start up cycle allow the unit to meet a variety of needs in multiple locations – well-suited to grid-firming, construction, or the sudden shifting demands of emergency and natural disaster response.

GE Vernova’s TM2500 DLE builds on the proven reliability of earlier generations of mobile gas turbines which have been proving their versatility and reliability for 140 million accumulated hours of operation. The unit is fuel flexible, running on gas, liquid fuel, or hydrogen blend, to help operators to generate reliable power, despite possible fuel supply challenges or fluctuating costs.

Increasing electricity demand, aging power generation units, and extreme weather events have led to increases in the amount of CU’s required for power generation capacity, known as a Planning Reserve Margin (PRM). A PRM is the power capacity required beyond projected demand to ensure reliability during peak usage or unexpected outages. By 2026, CU will be required to maintain a PRM of 36% during winter months, a significant increase from the current 15%. This means CU must have 36% more power generation capacity than what is required to serve Springfield’s electric load to help mitigate unexpected disruptions.

The three GE Vernova aeroderivative units are expected to inject an additional 150 MW of reliable and flexible capacity with the new aeroderivative gas turbine packages to help ensure grid stability with high efficiency. Once online, the aeroderivative gas turbines are expected to become CU’s most efficient generators with the capability to burn two types of fuel (natural gas with a fuel oil/diesel as a backup) in case of emergency events. The plant is estimated to start operations in 2027.

“This investment is another step in ensuring Springfield’s energy reliability for the future,” said Warren Brooks, V.P. of Electric Operations at City Utilities. “We trust GE Vernova’s units will help us quickly meet demand during peak energy usage. This project is aligned to our broader strategy to address future power supply needs through affordable, reliable, and innovative solutions.”

GE Vernova’s LM6000VELOX packages are developed using proven LM6000* aeroderivative gas turbine technology which is well-known in the power generation industry for its quick start time and ramp-up to full power in as little as 5 minutes, high cycle life helping to complement intermittent power from renewable sources, and operational flexibility.

The LM6000VELOX package was developed to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000* aeroderivative gas turbines by up to 40% and save up to 4,000 labor hours.

“With increasing power generation demand driven by growing electrification needs and more renewables coming online every day, operators and municipalities, like City Utilities, need to ensure grid reliability with high efficiency, while delivering cheaper and faster power for their end users” said Dave Ross , CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Americas region. “We are excited to work with City Utilities to contribute to the expansion of their McCartney Power Generation Station with our highly efficient, reliable, fast and flexible technology.”

LM6000 gas turbines are part of an installed base of nearly 1.200 units across approximately 60 countries. In a Singular Annular Combustor (SAC) configuration, these units have the capability to burn up to 100% hydrogen by volume, thereby reducing CO2 emissions from power delivered by a gas turbine.

Riyadh, SAUDI ARABIA (March 24, 2025) - GE Vernova, Inc. (NYSE: GEV) and Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) have announced the successful completion of the first gas turbine outage entirely planned and executed by GE Vernova’s Saudi engineers and specialists. This project at SEC's 8th power plant in Riyadh highlights both companies' commitment to fostering local talent and promoting localization within Saudi Arabia's energy sector, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.

This achievement comes just months after GE Vernova, in the presence of HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Minister of Energy, celebrated the successful rollout of the first H-class gas turbine unit completed at the GE Saudi Advanced Turbines (GESAT) facility in Dammam.

The 8th power plant in Riyadh is a strategic facility that plays a crucial role in addressing the growing electricity demands of the capital. With a production capacity exceeding 1,700 megawatts, it significantly enhances the stability of the electrical grid in Riyadh and its surrounding areas. The plant comprises several blocks, one of which is equipped with four of GE Vernova’s 7F gas turbines, collectively capable of producing close to 500 megawatts.

The maintenance, led by GE Vernova’s Gas Power One Field Services team in collaboration with SEC’s teams, was crucial for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the power generation assets. It required meticulous planning and execution, demonstrating the culmination of a decade of comprehensive training, certifications, accreditations, practical experience, and professional development for Saudi talent.

Male and female Saudi engineers and specialists at the 8th power plant prioritized rigorous safety protocols and successfully completed the project on schedule, supported by GE Vernova’s Live Outage platform. This digital tool enhances field execution through standardized procedures, streamlined tasks and safety best practices.

GE Vernova’s power plant outage services team brings extensive experience in optimizing power plant performance through expert maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. This Saudi-led initiative marks a pivotal step in enhancing plant efficiency and the long-term reliability of power units.

Engineer Abdulaziz Saeed Al-Shumaila, Head of Power Generation Operations in the Central Region, Saudi Electricity Company, said, “We are committed to providing reliable and stable power supply for the Kingdom. GE Vernova’s Saudi-led outage at the 8th power plant marks a new era in the Saudi power sector, underscoring our commitment to driving innovation and developing local talent. Through our strategic collaboration with GE Vernova, we aim to empower more Saudi engineers and specialists to assume advanced leadership and technical roles within the Kingdom’s robust energy ecosystem. This collaboration will also contribute to local skills development initiatives, supporting the achievement of Vision 2030 goals.”

Hisham Al Bahkali, President of GE Vernova, Saudi Arabia, noted, “Our successful maintenance project at Riyadh’s 8th power plant showcases the Kingdom's local talent in driving a more sustainable energy future, directly supporting Vision 2030. This achievement demonstrates Saudi engineers' capabilities in managing complex energy projects. Our ongoing collaboration with SEC will further advance the Kingdom’s energy transformation and cultivate national competencies.”

He added, “This accomplishment caps a remarkable year for GE Vernova in Saudi Arabia, notably the rollout of the first H-Class gas turbine at the GESAT facility. This advanced turbine is set to power the Jafurah Cogeneration Independent Steam and Power Plant (ISPP), highlighting our commitment to supporting national strategies, including Vision 2030.”

In 2024, GE Vernova secured its largest-ever Middle East & Africa order for six 7HA.03 gas turbines, two 7E.03 units, and a 21-year maintenance agreement for Saudi Arabia's Taiba 1 and Qassim 1 power plants. The company also completed FEED studies exploring decarbonization options for three Saudi Arabian cogeneration plants, potentially reducing carbon emissions using pre- and post-combustion technologies.

For nearly 90 years, GE Vernova has contributed to Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure, supporting economic diversification, localization, and talent development. Employing more than 850 people in Saudi Arabia, GE Vernova’s investments include the GE Manufacturing and Technology Center (GEMTEC) campus in Dammam, which features a Service and Repairs Center for gas turbines, the GE MENA Decarbonization Center of Excellence, and GE Saudi Advanced Turbines (GESAT).

With its spin-off from GE and commencement of independent trading on the NYSE on April 2, 2024, GE Vernova’s extensive technology base - including approximately 55,000 wind turbines and 7,000 gas turbines - plays a vital role in the energy transition in Saudi Arabia and around the world.
