America’s demand for electric power is surging and, with it, the need to move electrons around the country. Nowhere is that trend more tangible than at GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions factory in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a sprawling 332,000-square-foot facility that has been making high-voltage instrument transformers and high-voltage circuit breakers, key components of the electric grid for more than three decades.

American author and activist Helen Keller once observed that “optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.” Could optimism itself, therefore, be harnessed as a strategy? GE Vernova thinks so. At just one year old, the standalone energy technology company is remaking itself into a key player in the global energy transition.

TEXAS, US (March 25, 2025) - As utilities worldwide confront growing challenges in grid security, modernization, and reliability, GE Vernova has released a series of whitepapers offering practical strategies to strengthen energy systems. Launched during DISTRIBUTECH 2025 in Dallas, Texas, these whitepapers provide global grid operators with insights into cybersecurity, digitalization, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) strategies—all critical for ensuring a secure, resilient, and future-ready energy network.

Why grid reliability and automation are more crucial now than ever

The world is entering a new age of electricity, where AI-driven data centers, electrified transport, and industrial automation are reshaping energy demand. This shift is putting immense pressure on grids, forcing utilities to rethink their approach to resilience and efficiency. At the same time, energy grids have become prime targets for sophisticated cyberattacks. To respond, utilities must adopt scalable, software-based solutions that have the power to revolutionize the grid—enhance reliability without costly hardware overhauls, ensuring secure remote access and substation resilience, optimizing grid utilization, unlocking new economic opportunities, and more.

GE Vernova’s latest whitepapers provide actionable guidance to help utilities navigate these pressing challenges  to help secure their networks and achieve a grid fit for the future.

Key Focus Areas in the Whitepapers

1. Modernizing with Virtualized Protection, Automation & Control (VPAC)

Utilities are facing a fundamental shift in how protection and control systems are managed. Traditional hardware-dependent protection systems are struggling to keep up with evolving grid complexities, making virtualization an essential tool for modern utilities. GE Vernova’s research explores:

• Unlocking Resilience & Scalability with Virtualized Software-Defined Substation Solutions – GE Vernova’s study explores how virtualization can replace cumbersome hardware dependencies, reduce operational costs, and enable seamless remote upgrades—ushering in a new era of flexible, software-driven grid management. Download  here.

2. Strengthening Grid Cybersecurity

The power grid is no longer just an engineering challenge—it’s a security imperative. These grids remain prime targets for cyberattacks, with legacy systems and digital substations often serving as vulnerable points. Two whitepapers focus on:

• Secure Remote Access Solutions – Many grid assets were never designed for remote operation, making them highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. This whitepaper outlines next-generation access control strategies to safeguard legacy infrastructure while enabling seamless modernization. Download  here.
• Substation Cyber Resilience – Digital substations are revolutionizing grid management, but they also introduce new risks. This whitepaper explores multi-layered cybersecurity strategies that strengthen defenses, minimize attack surfaces, and protect against sophisticated grid disruptions. Download  here.

3. Empowering Intelligent Grids With AI

• The energy landscape is rapidly transforming, and utilities are facing unprecedented challenges driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, increasing grid complexity, and the need for enhanced resilience against cyber threats and extreme weather events. Traditional grid management approaches are proving inadequate in addressing these dynamic challenges. This whitepaper—part of a series of four—delves into the pivotal role that AI can play in revolutionizing grid management. Download here.

Showcasing Innovation at DISTRIBUTECH 2025

At DISTRIBUTECH 2025 in Dallas, Texas, GE Vernova is showcasing its latest advancements in grid digitization and automation technologies, providing real-world solutions for grid reliability, security, modernization and orchestration. Experts will be on-site at Booth Number 3223 to discuss the insights from the whitepapers and demonstrate how advanced digital and automation solutions can help utilities build a more resilient and future-proof power network.

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.

The wild Baltic Sea has produced its share of historic storms, and in the fall of 2023 it unleashed another titanic surge that pounded Germany’s north coast, causing 200 million euros’ worth of damage. But heavy weather is not enough to deter Germany in its quest to secure low-carbon energy; indeed, the same forces that drove that storm of the century in 2023 can be harnessed to produce electricity.

PITTSBURGH, PA (January 29, 2025) - GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), America’s leading energy manufacturing company, today announced it is planning to invest more than $10 million in its Pittsburgh facility over the next two years to expand capabilities across its Electrification segment. This includes funding to house a new domestic manufacturing line for the company’s FLEXINVERTER, a key technology for utility-scale solar and energy storage applications. This total investment is expected to create more than 270 new jobs.

The investment comes as GE Vernova launches its new Power Conversion & Storage business, one of the three business units within GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. The new business unit, a combination of two previously separate businesses, Power Conversion and Solar & Storage Solutions, is a response to the increasing demand by customers for power stability and energy storage solutions driven by the increases in renewable power generation, as well as the continuous electrification of energy intensive industries.

“Expanding our Pittsburgh operations reflects our commitment to building a robust domestic supply chain for electrification technologies,” said Ed Torres, GE Vernova’s Power Conversion & Storage Business Leader. “This investment not only reinforces our role in supporting the energy transition but also aims to create jobs in the heart of the U.S. industrial base. As part of GE Vernova’s Electrification segment - our fastest-growing division with immense potential - Power Conversion & Storage expects to play a critical role in building the electrification backbone essential for achieving world climate goals.”

By localizing production, GE Vernova aims to address critical supply chain challenges, aligning with national priorities to strengthen U.S. energy independence while supporting decarbonization goals.

Pittsburgh Facility Expansion: Supporting U.S. Renewable Growth
The new GE Vernova FLEXINVERTER manufacturing line is designed to produce both 1500V and 2000V FLEXINVERTER models, which enable utilities to seamlessly connect renewable energy sources to the grid, ensuring stable and consistent energy supply for homes and businesses.

With a footprint of more than 2.7 acres (11,000 square meters), the expanded Pittsburgh facility will also boost engineering and field operations for sectors including steel, oil and gas, marine, and renewable energy. The investment reinforces GE Vernova’s commitment to providing advanced energy solutions that lower operational costs and enhance grid stability.

Driving the Energy Transition
The launch of Power Conversion & Storage further demonstrates GE Vernova’s leadership in accelerating the U.S. energy transition. With innovations like the 2000 kV FLEXINVERTER and RESTORE DC Block, the company is setting new standards for utility-scale renewable energy solutions.
