Phantom Power: Saudi Arabia Joins the Condenser Revival as the Kingdom of Oil Pursues Big Solar

Gregor Macdonald
Nighttime image of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Share

The 2020s have a lot in common with the 1920s when it comes to the buildout of electrical power. Back then, grids were largely driven by coal, which was polluting, to be sure, but offered stability to big, national electrical systems with power plants that often ran uninterrupted for long periods of time. Then came hydropower, with its distant electrical power generators. Power engineers, trying to figure out how to transmit power from faraway places, developed an unusual machine called a synchronous condenser.

These whitepapers are part of a comprehensive series exploring the application of AI to grid operations, planning, and energy market use cases.

First Whitepaper: Empower Intelligent Grids With AI (Download Here)

Utilities are navigating unprecedented challenges impacting the reliability and resiliency of the grid. Integrating both renewable and distributed energy sources like rooftop solar and battery storage makes it difficult for operators to keep the grid in balance. Data centers and broad electrification efforts present difficulties with increased and concentrated demand, along with variable and large energy load patterns. The frequency of extreme weather events and cyber threats threaten grid resilience. Traditional grid management approaches are proving inadequate in addressing these dynamic challenges. AI offers game-changing potential but integrating it into grid planning and operations can be difficult for utilities due to siloed data from disparate systems across operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), and external data (e.g. weather).

This whitepaper offers key steps and considerations to help utilities take a practical approach to successful AI adoption, with building a solid data foundation as an easy first step. It also looks at how GE Vernova’s GridOS® Data Fabric can help utilities access, integrate, and contextualize energy data from GridOS applications and disparate sources in a single, unified view that spans transmission and distribution. Download here.

Second Whitepaper: AI in Grid Operations (Download Here)

Innovative AI capabilities are needed for grid operators to enhance operational insights, provide decision-making guidance, and offer advanced automation. This whitepaper delves deeper into the crucial role of AI in grid operations, with a focus on detection, prediction, and optimization. Key insights include:

  • The complex challenges driving the need for AI adoption in real-time and near-real-time grid operations—intermittent renewables, higher peak loads, distributed generation, multi-directional energy flows, and severe weather events—as well as the requirements utilities must fulfill to successfully apply AI in these areas.

  • An AI adoption framework that takes a pragmatic approach and accounts for risk, including technical and regulatory factors and the automation maturity journey that starts with decision support, then human-in-the-loop, and finally, full automation.

  • Current and emerging AI/ML capabilities in grid operations, including forecasting, inertia prediction, disruption preparation, operator decision support (virtual operator), alarm analysis, log analysis, and more.

The whitepaper also looks at how GridOS, the first software portfolio designed specifically for grid orchestration, provides the necessary AI platform to support utilities in their AI/ML journey across various maturity levels and automation needs. GridOS comprises a microservices-based architecture and provides horizontal scalability, solution composability, a grid-specific data foundation, and hybrid cloud deployment capability. All of these are essential for AI-enabled applications. Download here.

  • The substations are expected to modernize Norway’s grid, increase capacity, and enable the electrification of Melkøya Island, home to Equinor’s Snøhvit gas field and Hammerfest LNG plant

  • These two substations demonstrate GE Vernova's g³ gas technology, widely adopted by multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), as a leading SF₆-free solution for high voltage switchgear from 72.5 kV up to 420 kV

Hammerfest, Norway (May 21, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced the forthcoming deployment of two high-voltage 420 kV sulfur hexafluoride - free (SF6-free) gas-insulated substations (GIS) for Statnett SF, Norway’s Transmission System Operator (TSO), and Equinor ASA. Awarded in the fourth quarter of last year, the contract covers the design, supply, and installation of GIS units at Skaidi and Hyggevatn as part of Statnett’s 420 kV transmission line project—an important milestone supporting Norway’s energy transition and decarbonization effort.

The Skaidi substation involves upgrading the existing facility, while the Hyggevatn substation will be a completely new installation. Together, they aim to modernize Norway’s electrical grid, increase capacity, and electrify Melkøya Island, home to Equinor’s Snøhvit gas field and Hammerfest LNG plant. This initiative aligns with Statnett’s and Equinor’s commitment to achieving a sustainable energy transition while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The design of these next-generation substations will be based on GE Vernova’s g³ technology, which replaces SF₆ gas, a potent greenhouse gas commonly used in high-voltage equipment. The g³ technology is part of GE Vernova’s GRiDEA portfolio, a suite of decarbonization solutions that empower grid operators to meet their net-zero objectives. Launched in 2014, g³ gas shows an approximately 99% reduction in greenhouse gas contribution to global warming compared to SF₆, supporting the energy sector’s decarbonization goals.

Driving decarbonization of the grid across Europe

“This project in Norway is the latest of many contracts that we have signed for our new SF₆-free 420 kV T155g GIS since our first one in Scotland in 2020. GE Vernova’s g³ product portfolio has experienced strong commercial growth since the launch of our first SF6-free product, underscoring the trust placed in g³ by over 60 utilities in Europe and Asia,” said Eric Chaussin, Power Transmission Business Leader at GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. “This marks another important milestone in our journey to electrify and decarbonize the world’s grids. We are proud to support the climate ambitions of Norway.”

GE Vernova’s g³ technology roadmap covers a wide range of voltage levels, from 72.5 kV up to 550 kV. The EU Commission LIFE Programme recognized the potential of this innovative technology by co-funding the development of the SF₆-free 420 kV GIS interrupter under the "LifeGRID" project. The g³ technology is now enabling utilities to take immediate action to reduce the carbon footprint of their high-voltage power grids, supporting their decarbonization goals.

Statnett’s Skaidi and Hyggevatn substations are expected to become operational by 2029. GE Vernova has a  track record of successful GIS Substations in Norway, including in Oslo Smestad, Sogn, and Hamang.

  • GE Vernova to expand electrification manufacturing and engineering capabilities in India with new facilities in Chennai and Noida.

  • New capacity to support HVDC and FACTS technologies for grid stability and renewable integration

  • Investment enhances local production, reduces supply chain dependencies, and supports export demand.

Delhi, India (May 14, 2025) GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) today announced plans to invest approximately USD $16 million in India to expand its electrification manufacturing and engineering footprint—specifically, advanced grid technologies that enable stable, reliable, and secure delivery of electricity.

The investment will be made by GE Vernova T&D India Limited (NSE: GEV T&D), the listed entity of GE Vernova’s Electrification business in India and includes the development of a new manufacturing line at its existing facility in Chennai (Pallavaram) and a new facility in Noida. These expansions are expected to enhance the ability of GE Vernova T&D India Limited to manufacture and test key next-generation equipment used in modern transmission systems, supporting both India’s energy transition and export demand from other fast-growing economies.

These new expansions will focus on High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS)—technologies that help stabilize power grids, reduce transmission losses, and make it easier to connect renewable energy like solar and wind. These systems are critical for getting renewable energy from where it’s generated—often in remote areas—to where it’s needed most: cities, industries, and communities.

“India continues to be a critical part of our global strategy—both for our customers and as a manufacturing hub,” said Johan Bindele, VP of Grid Systems Integration at GE Vernova. “GE Vernova’s Electrification equipment backlog has more than tripled over the past year—driven by strong demand for transformers, switchgear, and grid technologies including HVDC and FACTS. These new expansions are aimed at enhancing our capabilities in the region, helping reduce supply chain dependencies, and allowing us to deliver faster, smarter solutions to customers in India and around the world.”

“With energy demand rising and more renewables being added to the grid, the need for strong, smart, and flexible infrastructure has never been greater,” said Sandeep Zanzaria, Managing Director and CEO of GE Vernova T&D India Limited. “Through this investment, we are strengthening our ability to deliver technologies that help utilities move more power, with fewer losses, over longer distances—and do it more sustainably.”

Investment Details:

  • The new manufacturing line at the existing Chennai facility will produce Line Commutated Converter (LCC) HVDC valves and Voltage Source Converter (VSC) Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) valves. 
    These valves are key components of advanced HVDC and FACTS systems. LCC is typically used for long-distance, high-capacity power transmission, while VSC is more suitable for connecting renewable energy sources and providing grid stability.
  • In Noida, GE Vernova T&D India Limited will set up a new engineering and test lab to support design and system validation for these solutions, as well as supply control systems ensuring quality and performance in real-world grid conditions.

The Noida lab is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, and the new manufacturing line in Chennai facility by early-2027.

Included within GE Vernova’s previously announced ~$4 billion cumulative capex plan through 2028, this investment is part of GE Vernova’s broader “Asia for Asia” strategy—focusing on building localized manufacturing capacity to better serve regional needs, while contributing to global supply chain resilience. It also supports India’s ambition to become a renewable energy leader by expanding access to “Make in India” technologies that power everything from homes to factories with more efficiency and less environmental impact.

GE Vernova T&D India currently operates five manufacturing facilities across the country and has served the Indian grid for over 100 years.
