The staff of Power Plant 8 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is busy even on an average workday. But operations ramped up last December when a 25-person crew from GE Vernova assembled at the site for an important planned maintenance project.

SELANGOR, Malaysia (March 13, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced a Selangor state-linked company, Worldwide Holding Berhad (WHB)’s Pulau Indah power plant achieved the start of operation in Selangor, approximately 60 km from the Malaysian capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Powered by two-blocks of GE Vernova HA combined cycle equipment, the new 1,200 megawatts (MW) plant is projected to produce the equivalent electricity needed to power approximately 2.5 million homes in Malaysia. In addition, under the terms of a 21-year agreement, GE Vernova is expected to provide maintenance services and software solutions to improve asset visibility, reliability, and availability of the plant.

Over the next three decades, the Malaysian economy is estimated to triple in size, while its population is projected to rise to over 40 million people; consequently, energy demand in Malaysia is set to increase significantly. Malaysia has announced its aim to reach net-zero emissions by as early as 2050 – reflected in its latest National Energy Policy – and continues to refine a long-term lower-emission development strategy.

At the core of the plant, the two 9HA gas turbines, engineered from the ground up to be extremely flexible, feature high ramp rates and fast start up times to help meet fluctuating demand. In addition, the HA unit has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas.

Natural gas has become an increasingly popular option for electricity generation in Malaysia due to increased availability and the fact that it emits less CO2 and other pollutants than coal. Gas power plants can also be turned on or off relatively easily, which allows for greater flexibility in dealing with demand peaks or low supply from renewable sources.

For the Pulau Indah Power Plant, GE Vernova provided two blocks of 600 MW, each including a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator and a Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generator (OT HRSG).

Overall plant performance will be monitored and enhanced with GE Vernova’s tightly integrated Mark* VIe Distributed Control System (DCS) software software to help improve asset visibility, reliability, and availability while reducing operation and maintenance costs. In addition, data collected from sensors throughout the facility will be monitored and analyzed 24/7 at GE Vernova’s Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Center in Greenville, SC, United States.

“We are proud to add this plant to the 116 units operating globally, and that have amassed more than 3 million commercial operating hours, the equivalent capacity needed to power more than 50 million U.S. homes,” said Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO of Asia, Gas Power, GE Vernova. “With more than 40 years of operations and the largest base of installed gas turbines in the country, GE Vernova is uniquely qualified to support Malaysia’s energy transition, while helping meet the growing power demand in the country.”

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.

A decade ago, disruptive change came to power grids. Aging coal plants in Europe and the U.S., some in operation since World War II, began to retire. Saddled with high maintenance costs, coal plants were shuttered throughout the developed world. In their place rose new fleets of wind turbines, dotting the American plains from Texas to Iowa. In Europe, wind power blossomed onshore but also extended its reach offshore, thriving in the Continent’s notoriously stormy seas.

ATLANTA, GA (March 6, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that its industry leading H-Class gas turbine technology has amassed more than 3 million commercial operating hours across 116 units globally, the equivalent capacity needed to power more than 50 million U.S. homes. In addition to benefitting customers to provide efficient, dispatchable baseload power and supporting the energy transition, the growing fleet of operating HA gas turbines can provide significant value for GE Vernova through long-term maintenance and services contracts.

Since the first HA unit launched in commercial operations in 2016 with record-setting combined cycle efficiency, the HA fleet has generated more than 67 gigawatts (GW) of power, equal to one of these turbines running for 342 years, The fleet has helped power plant operators provide efficient electricity, reduce emissions, increase efficiency, retire coal-fired facilities, and integrate greater levels of renewable energy.

“This is an exciting milestone for the industry’s largest HA fleet,” said Eric Gray, President & CEO, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “Thanks to the strong collaboration with our customers, we are able to help them meet electrification and decarbonization goals with powerful and efficient technologies like the HA gas turbine. As more HA turbines come online, these milestones will only accelerate, while driving significant services for GE Vernova for decades to come and bringing greater reliability and operating performance for our customers.”

In addition to electrification, GE Vernova’s HA gas turbines have a pathway to decarbonization—both pre-combustion with hydrogen, with a current capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas, and post-combustion with carbon capture and sequestration. For example, at the new Net Zero Teesside Power project in the U.K., GE Vernova will supply a 9HA.02 turbine to power the world’s first commercial scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture.

In addition to traditional power generation and decarbonization, GE Vernova’s HA gas turbines are also well positioned for the growing need for more and larger, energy-intensive data centers. Recent agreements with Chevron and NRG and Kiewit are testaments to our commitment to accelerating new generation capacity to support demand growth and of the fleet’s broad appeal.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that data centers have the potential to double their energy usage by 2026. The rise of AI computational demand, along with the investment supercycle in electric power sector, has moved the IEA to raise its growth forecasts for global power. In its latest report, released in February, the IEA reported global electricity demand is expected to rise at a faster rate over the next three years, growing by an average of 3.4% annually through 2026. — one of the strongest sustained growth trajectories in many years.

To help meet this growing demand, GE Vernova announced more than $160 million investment in its Greenville, South Carolina, facility earlier this year. GE Vernova’s world-class manufacturing and services facility in Greenville will continue to represent the company’s largest gas turbine manufacturing plant and the HA Repairs Center of Excellence for the Americas Region, with the most powerful off-grid gas turbine validation facility in the world. This investment is focused on increasing capacity to help meet market needs, including plans to produce 70 to 80 heavy-duty gas turbines per year beginning in the second half of 2026 and shipping approximately 20 gigawatts annually starting in 2027.
