ATLANTA, GA (February 13, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today Dominion Energy’s Bushy Park Combustion Turbine (Bushy Park CT) facility achieved the start of commercial operation in Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA on November 1, 2024. The 52 megawatt** (MW) Bushy Park CT #1, powered by a GE Vernova LM6000VELOX* package solution including an LM6000* gas turbine and generator, marked the first LM6000VELOX package plant solution in operation globally.

GE Vernova introduced the LM6000VELOX package in 2023 aiming to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbines by up to 40%, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The enhancements incorporated in the new package aim to also reduce site construction delays for power generation utilities, EPCs, and other industry stakeholders.

The new LM6000VELOX, along with two other units ordered for Dominion Energy’s Parr facility in Fairfield County, South Carolina that are currently under construction, replaced older peaking generation units which help the company meet demands during peak energy usage. In addition to supporting peak usage periods, these fully dispatchable units complement solar generation on days when sunshine is limited or intermittent throughout the day. The Bushy Park and future Parr units incorporate an array of operational flexibility capabilities including dual-fuel capabilities, fast-starting, synchronous condensing, and black start. GE Vernova’s scope of supply included selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalyst systems, which coupled with dry low exhaust combustion, enable best-in-class air emissions performance without the need for water injection.

“Achieving commercial operation of the Bushy Park project demonstrates our continued commitment to providing safe, reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy in the communities we serve,” said Keller Kissam, President of Dominion Energy South Carolina. “Investments in flexible, efficient units are critical to meet growing loads in one of the fastest growing states in the country and complement the large amounts of intermittent solar on our grid.”

“This project marks the first time this solution is in operation globally and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone with Dominion Energy“ said Dave Ross, President and CEO for GE Vernova's Gas Power business in the Americas. “This aeroderivative solution can provide dispatchable and lower carbon-emitting power compared to older units, and also important black-start capability necessary for restoring power after a blackout.”

GE Vernova is a leading supplier to Dominion Energy, which contributes to meeting the electricity needs of approximately 3.6 million customers in Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,300 units shipped, the LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is a leader in the +40 MW space. In addition to the two LM6000VELOX packages currently being installed at Dominion Energy’s Parr facility, there are ten LM6000VELOX packages being installed at Tennessee Valley Authority’s Johnsonville Aeroderivative Power Plant in the Middle of Tennessee with an expected start of operation in 2025. Recently, GE Vernova also announced the first LM6000VELOX packaged solution that is expected to start operation on 100 percent hydrogen at Whyalla hydrogen power plant in Australia in 2026.

In Türkiye, demand for electricity is surging. With a growing — and urbanizing — population, the country ranks 15th in the world in annual energy production, outpacing several nations with much larger populations.

Baghdad, Iraq (February 5, 2025) — In a major boost to Iraq's electricity infrastructure, the Ministry of Electricity (MoE) and GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) have announced the successful completion of upgrades at several key power plants, significantly enhancing the performance and output of existing GE Vernova generating units. The new upgrades are part of a broader effort by the Ministry to modernize the power generation infrastructure to enhance grid stability and capacity, while meeting the growing energy demand in Iraq in alignment with the country’s energy transition efforts.

The broader upgrade project regards 46 gas turbines across 12 power plants, on the way to adding up to 500 megawatts (MW) to the national grid before the summer of 2025. This modernization is expected to improve operational flexibility and boost output, efficiency, and availability of the power generation assets. Some of the power plants included in this project - Ninawa, Al Diwaniyah, Hilla, Karbala, Shat Al Basra, Najibiya, Samawa, Dhiqar, Al Khairat and Al Haidariya– already transitioned from heavy fuel oil (HFO) to natural gas, with a capacity increase of approximately 260 MW. The other plants are expected to be modernized within the summer of 2025, with an expected additional increase in capacity of approximately 250 MW.

In addition, GE Vernova announced the successful installation of its Advanced Gas Path (AGP) upgrades on several 9.E gas turbines powering Al-Quds, and Dhiqar power plants, and MXLII upgrades on 13E2 gas turbines powering Al Mansouriya power plant. The expected output increases of up to 6% for each of these power plants will enable Iraq's Ministry of Electricity (MoE) to generate more electricity using the same amount of fuel.

In addition, as part of services and upgrade agreement announced in 2024 with MoE to enhance the availability of power plants across the country, GE Vernova completed comprehensive maintenance projects across several of these power plants corresponding to a total capacity of 3.7 gigawatts, including Qayyarah, Diwaniyah, Al-Haydariyah, and Baghdad South. These initiatives aim to enhance the long-term reliability and stability of Iraq's power sector.

Eng. Ziyad Ali Fadhil, Iraq’s Minister of Electricity, said: “These diverse and comprehensive projects significantly advance our goals of expanding electricity generation and enhancing energy reliability, particularly during peak demand periods. The projects also focus on improving power plant efficiency and increasing output without increased fuel consumption, leading to less carbon emissions per amount of fuel consumed. Collaborating with reputed international companies like GE Vernova is critical to achieving the Ministry's objectives and bolstering the nation's power sector.”

Engine no. 1, Chevron and GE Vernova to power U.S. data centers

A familiar sound of modern life is the mobile phone’s tap-tap-tap as we pound out searches for the nearest drugstore or the fastest way home. But search, which has historically been free to use and cheap to provide, is about to get more power hungry. That’s because a single AI-driven query triggers ten times as much needed electricity as traditional search, according to researchers at Goldman Sachs.

Greenville, SC (January 15, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today the completion of the validation test campaign for its advanced Dry Low NOx (DLN) hydrogen combustion technology for B- and E-class gas turbines. The test campaign conducted at GE Vernova’s Global Technology Center in Greenville, South Carolina, demonstrated successful operation on natural gas and hydrogen blends and on 100% hydrogen with dry emissions below 25ppm NOx. GE Vernova currently plans to make the new DLN system available for new and existing B- and E- gas turbines as early as 2026.

GE Vernova is a world leader in gas turbine fuel flexibility, including over 120 gas turbines that have the capacity to operate or are currently operating on fuels that contain hydrogen, producing more than 530 Terawatt-hours of electricity over 8.5 million hours. This technology milestone announcement underscores GE Vernova’s continuous commitment to reduce the carbon emissions of its gas turbine generation fleet.

“We are proud to celebrate this technological advancement aiming to enable the decarbonization of our B- and E-Class fleet across the world,” said Jeremee Wetherby, Carbon Solutions leader, GE Vernova. “Developing a DLN combustion system able to burn 100% hydrogen safely and reliably is an engineering challenge. One of the ways hydrogen fuel differs from natural gas is that it burns much faster. Its flame speed is roughly eight times higher and presents risk of flashback. Through the test campaign, the GE Vernova team demonstrated very robust operation for the new DLN technology, without flash- back across a range of loads and fuel from pure natural gas to 100% hydrogen.”

Combustion dynamics or noise can be a challenge as well with hydrogen operation. The prototype performed very well in that category with relatively low levels even when operating on pure hydrogen. Test results also indicate that the technology can deliver higher availability and longer maintenance intervals comparable to current DLN combustors operating on natural gas. This is of particular importance for industrial customers who depend on gas turbines to power their operations reliably.

A new micromixer-based fuel air pre-mixer is foundational to the prototype combustor capability. GE Vernova’s research on micromixer technology started in 2005 as part of collaboration with the US Department of Energy. Micromixer-based fuel premixers have been part of the product portfolio for over 7 years notably on GE Vernova’s H Class gas turbine fleet. Recent research conducted at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center in NY and at the Global Technology Center in Greenville, SC focused on improving micromixer and axial fuel staging for hydrogen capability. This research culminated with the construction of a full size 6B DLN combustor prototype and testing in full scale conditions (pressure, flow, temperature) in the combustion test facility in Greenville, SC.

GE Vernova’s industrial gas turbines (B- and E-Class) are highly robust fleets, with an installed base of approximately 2800 units around the world powering industrial processes and operations around the clock. Hydrogen combustor options already exist today with ratings up to 100% hydrogen, however existing combustors use a diluent like water to manage emissions. The new H₂ DLN combustor technology is expected to present several benefits versus the existing systems:

• Eliminated use of water or other diluent
• Increased efficiency: 4 to 7% improvement in combined cycle heat rate
• Improved availability and longer maintenance intervals
• Reduced NOx emissions

“Through successful tests GE Vernova validated this new 100% hydrogen capable combustion technology, aiming to provide our B- and E-class industrial gas turbines owners with the maximum flexible operability range on natural gas, hydrogen or blends of both without the use of diluent like water for emissions abatement,” concluded Jeremee Wetherby.
