Notes to editors
Decarbonization as used in this article is intended to mean the reduction of carbon emissions on a kilogram per megawatt hour basis.

Ammonia is utilized today in industrial applications such as fertilizer, chemical raw material. When used as a carrier for hydrogen, ammonia enables an efficient, lower-cost transport and storage. In addition, ammonia is expected to be utilized directly in power generation as a carbon-free fuel, since ammonia contains no carbon, it does not emit carbon dioxide when burned and may therefore enhance the power sector’s efforts in reducing carbon emissions.

GE Vernova’s H-Class gas turbines to expand Qurayyah power plant in Saudi Arabia

6 min read
  • Three GE Vernova 7HA.03 and two 7HA.02 gas turbines are expected to be installed at Qurayyah Independent Power Plant (QIPP) 

     

  • QIPP can potentially be configured with post-combustion carbon capture systems

     

  • Project supports Saudi Arabia’s commitment to increase gas power generation in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA (May 28, 2025): GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has secured an order for five 7H-Class gas turbines - three 7HA.03 and two 7HA.02 units from Técnicas Reunidas and Orascom Construction (TR & ORASCOM CONSTRUCTION). The two companies have signed, under a 50-50 joint venture, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for Qurayyah Independent Power Plant (IPP) Expansion Project in the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia).

This expansion project, a 3 gigawatt (GW) combined cycle gas-fired power plant with readiness to build a carbon capture unit, aims to bolster electricity production capacity and enhance operational efficiency in Saudi Arabia. Expanding Saudi Arabia’s fleet of combined cycle power plants plays a crucial role in Saudi Arabia’s plan to generate half of its electricity from gas by 2030 and half from renewables, paving the way to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2060.

Hajr Two Electricity Co., a company owned by ACWA Power, the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), and Haji Abdullah Alireza & Co. Ltd signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the Qurayyah Independent Power Plant (IPP) Expansion Project with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC – Principal Buyer) in February 2025.

Hajr Two Electricity Co. commented: “The QIPP Expansion Project is a very ambitious project and we are proud to support its development. We look forward to working with TR & ORASCOM CONSTRUCTION and GE Vernova to contribute to Saudi Arabia’s enhancement of its electricity supply as the Kingdom transitions its power generation mix to incorporate more renewable energy in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and its ambitious sustainability targets.”

“QIPP project is evidence of Saudi Arabia’s strong belief in the future of gas as it emits less CO2 and other pollutants than oil-fueled power plants” said Joseph Anis, President & CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East & Africa. “We have developed a productive and successful relationship with TR & ORASCOM CONSTRUCTION building on our proven expertise in natural gas combined cycle plant engineering, operability, and plant integration, and we are delighted to deploy some of our most advanced power generation technologies, with the potential to integrate carbon capture solutions to help significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in QIPP’s and other gas power plants in Saudi Arabia.”

GE Vernova has been playing a pivotal role in fostering the evolution of the Kingdom’s energy infrastructure for almost 90 years, supporting economic diversification, localization, high value exports, and talent development efforts and still does so today in support of Saudi Vision 2030.

The company currently employs approximately 850 people in Saudi Arabia. GE Vernova’s investments in the Kingdom include the Khobar Integration Facility (KIF) for grid solutions, as well as the GE Manufacturing and Technology Center (GEMTEC) campus in Dammam, which encompasses a Services and Repairs Center for gas turbines, the GE Saudi Advanced Turbines (GESAT) facility for the manufacturing of gas turbines, components and accessory modules, the GE MENA Decarbonization Center of Excellence, and a Monitoring & Diagnostics Center for the remote monitoring of power generation assets.

GE Vernova’s “Power Plant on Wheels” is expected to bring fast, reliable power to mitigate power shortages in The Caribbean

5 min read
  • GE Vernova’s trailer mounted TM2500* aeroderivative gas turbine solutions is targeting to provide fast power in time for the expected peak summer demand at Nassau, Bahamas 

     

  • GE Vernova’s reliable and flexible TM2500 solutions aim to improve grid stability and avoid power shortages

The Bahamas (May 22, 2025) — GE Vernova Inc (NYSE: GEV) announced its trailer mounted TM2500* mobile aeroderivative solution is expected to bring fast and reliable power at the Bahamas to support possible peak summer demand and mitigate power shortages. Surpassing all previous records, more than 9,6 million tourists visited the island in 2023, with a relevant impact on power demand since the country has only about 400,000 inhabitants. Bahamas Turbines Limited (BTL), a subsidiary of FOCOL Holdings Limited, ordered two TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine packages to expand temporarily its Clifton Piers power plant located in New Providence Island, Bahamas.

“Electricity is a necessity that adds massive value to modern life: our aeroderivative mobile solutions can provide power fast and almost anywhere, on or off the grid,” said Dave Ross, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in the Americas. “As a company with a strong commitment to Caribbean and Central America’s development and a presence of over fifty years in the region, we are proud to help BTL increase their generation capacity and work towards providing more reliable power for their growing communities and crucial tourism sector.”

Despite its renewable potential, the Caribbean has a long history of fossil-fuel dependency and utilizes heavy fuel oil (HFO) and diesel for most of their power generation. Solar energy has always been another alternative of power for The Bahamas, but in order to make it reliable, it requires a very stable grid to connect to.

“Building on GE Vernova’s ability to support the growing need for fast power through the immediate availability for shipment of their TM2500 aeroderivative mobile gas turbine and plant equipment, we turned to GE Vernova as technology of choice for our needs for fast, flexible, and mobile power,” said Dexter Adderley, President & Chief Executive Officer

FOCOL Holdings Limited. “As more renewables come online and introduce intermittency into the grid, the deployment of GE Vernova’s trailer mounted aeroderivative gas turbine package expected to deliver up to 30 megawatts (MW) of electricity can support the improvement of frequency control of the grid. Two additional units will help reduce power outages and eventually facilitate the connection of more renewable generation.”

GE Vernova’s aeroderivative solutions are helping power plant operators in the region, like BTL, transition from HFO to a solution that can burn less carbon emitting fuels, like natural gas or diesel. GE Vernova’s TM2500 units offer high flexibility to support the grid. Each TM2500 unit can reach full production capacity in few minutes, which enables power providers to increase power generation quickly to help meet peak demand and ramp down units to avoid wasting energy when demand is lower.
