GE Vernova receives CVE numbering authority designation for cybersecurity vulnerability management

4 min read
  • GE Vernova Inc. expands CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) status to all business segments 

  • Expansion allows CVE ID assignments to cybersecurity vulnerabilities, publishing CVE Records, and streamlining vulnerability reporting across its portfolio.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (February 21, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today that it has been authorized by the Common Vulnerability and Exposures Program as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA). CNAs are organizations responsible for assigning CVE IDs to cybersecurity vulnerabilities potentially related to its products and for creating and publishing information about these vulnerabilities in the associated CVE Record. Each CNA has a specific scope of responsibility for identifying and publishing details about vulnerabilities.

This authorization extends the CNA status previously held by GE Gas Power to now include all GE Vernova businesses, encompassing our Power, Wind, and Electrification segments. As a CNA, GE Vernova can assign CVE identification numbers to newly discovered vulnerabilities potentially related to its products, allowing GE Vernova to directly publish new CVE Records and streamline the reporting process. GE Vernova will maintain all previously assigned CVEs created by GE Gas Power, ensuring continuity and consistency in vulnerability reporting.

"This expanded authorization reaffirms our unwavering commitment to maintaining a security culture across all our businesses," said Ronald Wiederhold, GE Vernova Vice President of Product Cybersecurity. "By identifying and mitigating cybersecurity vulnerabilities, we support our customers and partners, enabling them to operate their energy infrastructure with confidence in GE Vernova and our portfolio of products and services."

###

About the CVE Program  
The mission of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program is to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. There is one CVE Record for each vulnerability in the catalog. The vulnerabilities are discovered then assigned and published by organizations from around the world that have partnered with the CVE Program. Partners publish CVE Records to communicate consistent descriptions of vulnerabilities. Information technology and cybersecurity professionals use CVE Records to ensure they are discussing the same issue, and to coordinate their efforts to prioritize and address the vulnerabilities.

The CVE Program is sponsored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is operated by the MITRE Corporation in close collaboration with international industry, academic, and government stakeholders.

4 min read
  • $250,000 grant for Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina

  • Will support Campers & Winter Warmth Initiative and rebuilding efforts

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (February 12, 2025) – Today the GE Vernova Foundation announced a grant of $250,000 to Operation Helo in support of the ongoing Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Western North Carolina. Operation Helo, a veteran founded and led non-profit based in North Carolina, recently launched their Campers & Winter Warmth Initiative providing more than 200 new, fully equipped campers to displaced families, ensuring they have a safe and temporary place to call home. The GE Vernova Foundation funding of $250,000 will be directed to both support the continued need for more campers as well as the purchase of building supplies for those residents beginning their rebuilding efforts.

“As Western North Carolina continues to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, we are proud to work with Operation Helo to ensure families in need have access to housing,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “Disasters such as these affect families for the long-term, and this will help provide them with the support needed to rebuild.”

“We are profoundly grateful to the GE Vernova Foundation for their generous grant to Operation Helo, said Eric Robinson, Co-Founder, Operation Helo. Their support plays a pivotal role in our ongoing efforts to rebuild and restore communities in Western North Carolina devastated by Hurricane Helene. This partnership empowers us to accelerate recovery, provide essential services, and help families regain stability and hope. Together, we’re rebuilding not just homes, but futures.”

Late last year, the GE Vernova Foundation announced a total of $500,000 in grants to support Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, with $250,000 immediately donated to the American Red Cross. Today’s announcement marks the donation of the remainder of the funds in the initial announcement.

GE Vernova to invest almost $600 million in U.S. factories and facilities over next two years

10 min read
  • America’s leading energy manufacturer expects to create more than 1,500 new factory and engineering jobs in the U.S.

  • Expansions at company’s U.S. factories and facilities will help meet surging customer demands for electricity equipment at home and abroad

  • Investments focus on gas power, grid, nuclear and onshore wind manufacturing sites

  • Company’s world class Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY plans to grow as a leading energy innovation hub while accelerating cutting-edge energy technology development

CAMBRIDGE, MA (January 29, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), America’s leading energy manufacturing company, is planning to invest nearly $600 million in its U.S. factories and facilities over the next two years to help meet the surging electricity demands around the world.

The new investments – expected to create more than 1,500 new U.S. jobs – will help drive U.S. energy affordability, national security, and competitiveness, and enable the American manufacturing footprint needed to support expanding global exports.

With worldwide energy needs forecasted to double, the substantial investments – the largest since the company’s spinoff in April – will help meet soaring customer demand, strengthen domestic supply chains, and continue developing cutting-edge American technology that helps power the world.

“These investments represent our serious commitment and responsibility as the leading energy manufacturer in the United States to help meet America’s and the world’s accelerating energy demand,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “These strategic investments and the jobs they create aim to both help our customers meet the doubling of demand and accelerate American innovation and technology development to boost the country’s energy security and global competitiveness.”

The new investments are the first 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 on December 10. Currently GE Vernova has more than 18,000 workers across 50 states in the U.S., with 18 U.S. manufacturing facilities and its global headquarters located in Massachusetts. The company’s technology helps produce approximately 25 percent of the world’s energy and is currently deployed in more than 140 countries.

Plans to expand gas turbine manufacturing
To support our previously announced plan to deliver up to 80 heavy duty gas turbines per year, resulting in an additional 20GW of electricity globally, GE Vernova intends to invest almost $300 million in support of its Gas Power business and build-out of capacity incremental heavy duty gas turbines. The new funding is projected to create more than 850 new jobs, and support a range of new projects, including: 

  • In Greenville, SC, the company is planning to invest more than $160 million to support capacity growth, quality, industrialization and delivery efforts, and new testing capability with hydrogen fuel. These efforts are expected to create more than 650 new jobs.
  • In Schenectady, NY, as previously announced, GE Vernova is planning to hire on more than 100 new jobs in 2025, and is investing over $50 million to support capacity growth and sustainability, industrialization and quality efforts.
  • GE Vernova is planning to invest nearly $50 million combined in its Parsippany, NJ, and Bangor, ME, locations to support capacity growth and quality, industrialization and delivery efforts.

Plans to expand grid solutions business
GE Vernova is planning to invest a total of nearly $20 million to expand capacity at its Grid Solutions facilities in Charleroi, PA, which manufactures switchgear, and Clearwater, FL, which produces capacitors and instrument transformers. The investment is expected to result in a total of more than 260 new jobs at the two facilities. The investments are critical to meet rising demand for critical high-voltage grid equipment. The majority of the investment is planned for the installation of new assets to create additional capacity and improve productivity.

More resources for nuclear business
GE Vernova’s nuclear business, GE Hitachi, plans to invest more than $50 million to enhance safety, quality and productivity at its Wilmington, NC, factory and to launch its next generation nuclear fuel design, a critical component to the company’s small modular reactor, the BWRX-300. The BWRX-300 reactor is the only advanced design that includes an approved, existing fuel. Expanding capacity of the fuel manufacturing operation further positions the BWRX-300 as the most ready to deploy advanced reactor on the market.

This investment also seeks to expand automation at the plant, which has been manufacturing fuel since 1968 and serves much of the U.S. boiling water reactor fleet, strongly positioning it for the future as the demand for nuclear energy increases globally, particularly as several U.S. utilities restart retired plants.

More capacity for U.S. onshore wind factories
As it continues focusing on its workhorse product strategy, GE Vernova’s Wind segment is planning to invest nearly $100 million in its manufacturing facilities in Pensacola, FL, Schenectady, NY, and Grand Forks, ND, and its remanufacturing facilities in Amarillo, TX. These continuing investments aim to strengthen the U.S. supply chain for renewable energy through factory upgrades and tooling and fixtures investments, while improving customer and employee experience through a new experience center in Pensacola and office renovations in Schenectady.

Adding U.S. manufacturing capacity to support U.S. grid, demand for solar and energy storage
GE Vernova is planning to invest more than $10 million in its Pittsburgh, PA, facility to expand capabilities across its Electrification segment. This includes planned funding to house a new domestic manufacturing line for the company’s FLEXINVERTER, a key technology for utility-scale solar and energy storage applications. The total investment is expected to create more than 270 new jobs, with the new line producing both the 1500V and 2000V FLEXINVERTER. This will help enable utilities to seamlessly connect renewable energy sources to the grid, ensuring stable and consistent energy supply for homes and businesses.

Expanding leading energy innovation research hub
At its Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY, a leading hub for energy technology and innovation, GE Vernova plans to invest almost $100 million in 2025 to strengthen the center’s electrification and carbon efforts, enable continued recruitment of top-tier talent, and push forward innovative technologies including direct air capture, alternative fuels for power generation, the grid of the future, critical infrastructure security and more. In partnership with New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Empire State Development, the State of New York is committing an additional $9.6 million in tax credits to the project. The company expects this investment will create 75 new research jobs. The company is also planning to fund Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) work in Niskayuna at $15 million in 2025.

These new investments in U.S. facilities follow more than $167 million in funding in 2024 across a range of GE Vernova sites, helping create more than 1,120 jobs to continue U.S. leadership in energy manufacturing for the nation and exports for the world.
