GE Vernova modernizes its Veresegyház hub to boost energy independence and lean production lines

6 min read
  • Major solar park development expects to cut facility energy consumption from the grid by approximately 50%.

  • 25-year milestone celebrated with successful installation of new lean production lines and the commissioning of high-performance precision machinery

  • Plans to create local jobs by adding more than 80 professionals 

VERESEGYHÁZ, Hungary – July 27, 2026 — GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) is proud to mark the 25th anniversary of its Veresegyház facility this year, celebrating a quarter-century of excellence as the company’s largest Gas Power manufacturing base outside the United States. To honor this milestone, the company is announcing the modernization of the facility including an on-site solar park to bolster energy independence, new lean production lines and a commitment to workforce growth with plans to add more than 80 professionals over the coming years to support its increasing capacity.

The Veresegyház facility serves as a primary manufacturing and service hub for GE Vernova’s global Gas Power operations, specializing in the high-tech production and precision repair of critical gas turbine components. With advanced capabilities in robotic welding and specialized thermal coatings, the site functions as a vital center of excellence for both new equipment manufacturing and essential repair services.

Advancing sustainability through major solar park development. To support the long-term sustainability of these operations, the solar project is being conducted in phases as part of the company's transformation at the Veresegyház site. The first phase was successfully completed with the installation of a 2 MW solar car canopy, covering more than 500 parking spaces. In the current, second phase, a total of 14.5 MW of photovoltaic (PV) panels are being installed, alongside a 40 MWh battery storage system. This phase encompasses more than 21,000 PV panels covering over 15 hectares, with grid connection expected by this autumn.

Once fully operational, this integrated renewable energy system will allow almost 50% of the site’s current total annual electric energy consumption of 33 GWh to be covered by zero-emission, renewable energy. This significantly improves the plant's energy self-sufficiency and aligns with GE Vernova’s broader mission to reduce the carbon footprint of its global manufacturing operations. 

Modernizing operations with new lean production lines. This sustainability milestone coincides with a period of intense growth for the facility as it works to address the global electricity "investment supercycle". To meet surging demand, last year GE Vernova’s $24,5 million investment, supported by a planned significant contribution of the Hungarian Investment Promotion (HIPA), set the foundation for the site's ongoing modernization, which now includes the successful installation of new lean production lines and the commissioning of high-performance precision machinery. Additionally, five advanced coating booths equipped with vacuum furnaces are now operational to bolster repair and manufacturing output.

Strengthening commitment to workforce growth and talent. After successfully onboarding approximately 100 new team members last year, the facility is actively hiring up to 80 additional professionals — including machinists, welders, fitters, and assembly operators - to support this expanded capacity.

"Reaching our 25th anniversary while simultaneously developing our solar park is a powerful testament to our team's dedication," said Viktoria Fodor, GE Vernova’s Veresegyház Plant Manager. "We are not just expanding our capabilities, energy independence and talents; we are building a more sustainable and efficient future. By blending advanced manufacturing technology with renewable energy, we are ensuring that Veresegyház remains a core element of GE Vernova’s global gas power manufacturing operations for decades to come."

GE Vernova maintains a robust operational presence in Hungary, anchored by key strategic locations that support its global energy mission. The company’s footprint is centered around its major Gas Power manufacturing and service facility in Veresegyház, complemented by active operations in Százhalombatta. These industrial efforts are supported by a central office in Budapest, which serves as a hub for the Power, Electrification, and Wind businesses. This regional network is further strengthened by a significant organizational infrastructure, housing essential corporate functions including Finance, HR, and Digital Technology, alongside specialized teams dedicated to Global Services and Global Supply Chain operations.

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.
