Hawaiian Electric orders GE Vernova aeroderivative packages to help Hawaii’s power remain stable and uninterrupted

4 min read
  • Six of GE Vernova’s LM6000VELOX aeroderivative gas turbine packages ordered to modernize Waiau Power Plant in O'ahu, Hawaii.

  • Multi-phase project to replace aging steam turbines, advancing the state’s emissions reduction goal 

  • High-efficiency, fuel-flexible technology to be deployed within the existing plant footprint, reducing community impact while enhancing grid stability.

HONOLULU, (July 20, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has secured a contract with Hawaiian Electric (HECO), the electric public utility in Hawaii, to supply six LM6000VELOX* aeroderivative package units to repower the aging oil-fired steam turbines at its Waiau Power Plant facility in Pearl City, O’ahu. The project is currently on schedule for the first two units to be in commercial operation in 2029, with subsequent units coming online in phases.

These smaller and more efficient aeroderivative turbine units will replace assets ranging from 58 to 67 years old that are currently slated for retirement. Upon completion, this project is expected to add over 250 megawatts (MW) of firm power to the grid, helping ensure reliable service when variable renewable resources like wind and solar are unavailable. 

“The project will repower the facility with proven, fuel-flexible and modern technology,” said Mike DeCaprio, Hawaiian Electric Vice President of Power Supply. “This represents the most significant modernization of the O‘ahu generation infrastructure in decades and it will strengthen the reliability and resilience of our system while supporting the integration of more renewable resources like solar and energy storage.” 

To achieve this, Hawaiian Electric selected GE Vernova’s LM6000VELOX aeroderivative solutions to provide the precise operational flexibility required for the modern Hawaiian grid.

"We are proud to support HECO in their mission to provide fast, reliable, and more sustainable power to the people of Hawaii. Because Hawaii’s energy grid is isolated and cannot rely on continental interconnections for emergency support, the need for rapid-response capability is paramount,” said Dave Ross, CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in the America’s pole. “By deploying our aeroderivative units, HECO gains the benefit of efficient and modular power assets that can transition from a cold start to full load in under 10 minutes. This jet engine-derived technology is uniquely suited to balance the variable nature of renewable energy, helping to ensure grid stability when it is needed most."

GE Vernova’s aeroderivative packages can operate on a variety of liquid fuels, including biofuels produced locally, and can be converted to run on liquefied natural gas if it becomes available. The project will utilize the current land footprint of Waiau Power Plant and reuse much of the existing infrastructure, which reduces cost and community impact.

GE Vernova powers Africa’s industrialisation with integrated energy solutions

6 min read
  • Delivering a comprehensive portfolio of energy solutions to accelerate Africa's industrialisation and economic growth. 

  • Showcasing CERius™, an AI-powered decarbonisation software that enables sustainable industry and global competitiveness.

  • Providing advanced grid-firming technologies to enable the reliability and stability of the continent’s energy systems. 

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (June 17, 2026) – In line with the Africa Energy Forum’s theme, ‘Building Africa’s industrialized Future,’ GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today showcased its comprehensive portfolio of technologies engineered to translate large-scale infrastructure ambitions into operational reality. Success in this new industrial era requires a holistic approach, one that bridges the gap between power generation and industrial application. By integrating sustainable energy generation, advanced electrification systems, and digital decarbonization tools, GE Vernova aims to enable African industries to scale with precision, helping ensure that energy remains a reliable, affordable, and sustainable foundation for the continent’s economic transformation.

At the event, GE Vernova is demonstrating how digital intelligence is accelerating the energy transition. In Tunisia, the state utility STEG identified an opportunity to evaluate GE Vernova’s CERius™, a sophisticated digital platform that integrates artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and digital twin technology to create a digital framework for emissions management. By moving from hardware-heavy monitoring to a software-driven digital framework, STEG is gaining real-time, auditable emissions data critical for aligning with international standards - including the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Validation at the Sousse B power plant confirmed the effectiveness of this digital approach. Beyond achieving high consistency in emissions monitoring, STEG anticipates that this software-driven shift will reduce related investment and maintenance costs by up to 50%. By enhancing traceability, this initiative supports Tunisia’s ambitious electricity export strategy to Europe, proving that data-driven decarbonization is a powerful catalyst for regional economic growth.

Alongside digital innovation, GE Vernova emphasized that as the continent accelerates its energy transition, the focus should shift from merely adding capacity to confirming grid infrastructure is inherently stable and resilient. To support this, the company released a new whitepaper at the event – “Spain's 2025 Blackout Experience: Grid Firming Needs for Developing Power Systems with High-Renewable Penetration.” 

The paper’s core recommendation is that future grids must be engineered for resilience, not just energy delivery. To successfully scale renewable energy, African nations are encouraged to prioritize grid stability from the outset, applying lessons learned from the Iberian Peninsula to build power systems that are as reliable as they are sustainable. By integrating flexible, grid-forming technologies - such as aeroderivative gas turbines, synchronous condensers, and advanced power electronic - and by explicitly valuing grid-support services, Africa can leapfrog traditional infrastructure hurdles. This approach enables the development of a more reliable and sustainable power system capable of supporting long-term economic growth. For further strategic guidance on these shifts, GE Vernova’s white paper, “Ensuring Power System Stability in an Evolving Electrical Grid,” maps out the essential path for modernizing power systems."

"Building Africa’s industrial future starts with getting the fundamentals right: power that is reliable, sustainable, and ready to scale," said Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. "A modern, stable grid is the backbone of this vision. Our goal is to provide a complete toolkit - from the AI that manages decarbonization to the grid technology that keeps the system stable - and to partner with African leaders to make that future a reality." 

Building on over 125 years of collaboration across the continent, GE Vernova continues to support Africa’s energy evolution by delivering comprehensive power generation, transmission, and distribution solutions alongside critical software and community-focused initiatives. Through this deep-rooted presence, the company is actively fostering the technical self-sufficiency required to power the next generation of industrial growth.
