GE Vernova study delivers a roadmap for how Italy can still meet 2030 and 2050 climate targets

6 min read
  • White paper sets out two scenarios for Italy’s power sector, showing that only accelerated renewable deployment, storage, and grid investment can deliver climate goals on time. 

  • In this white paper, GE Vernova proposes a roadmap for how to still meet 2030 and 2050 targets. Two futures, two outcomes: Only a Renewable Ambition pathway enables Italy to meet both 2030 and 2050 targets. A Business-as-Usual trajectory risks missing 2030, driving higher costs and greater reliance on imports.

  • Grid as the decisive factor: Without urgent transmission upgrades, Italy could waste 82 TWh of renewable energy by 2050 – approximately 16% of national demand.

MILAN, ITALY (October 15, 2025) — Italy’s energy future is at a crossroads. A new white paper from GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), Navigating the Energy Transition: Pathways to Net Zero in Italy, shows that while the country is at risk of missing its 2030 goals, a clear roadmap can deliver both 2030 and 2050 climate targets — if decisive action is taken now.

Recent analyses across Italy’s energy sector warn the country is not on track for near-term milestones, and they set out the reasons: renewables are growing too slowly, grid capacity is constrained, and permitting remains a bottleneck. GE Vernova’s study provides a roadmap for how Italy can still meet its targets, with two quantified scenarios that highlight the choices ahead.

“2030 is Italy’s make-or-break moment,” said Jim Walsh, Vice President of GE Vernova’s Consulting Services. “This study provides a roadmap to success: the numbers, the scenarios, and the solutions that show how Italy can still achieve its decarbonization goals, while capturing the economic and industrial benefits of the transition.”

With electricity demand expected to rise by 60% by 2050 due to electrification, the study evaluates two scenarios for Italy’s power sector:

  • Renewable Ambition: This pathway requires wind and solar capacity to double to 90-100 GW by 2030 and expand to approximately 200 GW by 2050. It also calls for at least 40 GW of battery energy storage, 13–17 GW of CCGTs with carbon capture, 8 GW of nuclear SMRs, and urgent completion of the Hypergrid transmission projects. This technology mix, along with some other critical permitting and regulation enablers, is a pathway that achieves both 2030 and 2050 climate targets. 

  • Business-as-Usual: A slower trajectory for renewable growth combined with heavier reliance on CCS, hydrogen-capable gas, and imports. Italy may still achieve net zero by 2050 but will miss 2030, exposing the system to higher costs and greater dependency on external supply.

The grid is the decisive factor. Without accelerated transmission upgrades, renewable curtailment could reach 82 TWh annually by 2050—equivalent to approximately 16% of projected national demand. Even with Terna’s planned Hypergrid projects, additional reinforcements will be required to bridge the gap between renewable-rich southern regions and demand-heavy northern centers.

The economic stakes are significant. A slower trajectory would increase reliance on imports, heighten consumer exposure to volatile fuel costs, and may undermine Italy’s industrial competitiveness.

Cambridge, MA (September 8, 2025) - Today, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced the launch of PlanOS, a unified software suite designed to empower energy planners, utilities, and regulators with an integrated system planning platform for a smarter grid of the future. Built on decades of real-world modeling expertise and developed in close collaboration with system operators globally, PlanOS provides a modular yet deeply integrated environment to unlock faster iteration and better decision making.

With the energy transition accelerating and grid systems growing increasingly complex, the need for smarter, faster, and more holistic planning has never been greater. Traditional planning tools are siloed, disjointed, and slow to adapt to the challenges posed by renewable integration, electrification, and decarbonization. PlanOS was created to address this gap.

“Grid planners today face unprecedented complexity - the grid is undergoing significant transformations that are reshaping how we plan for reliability, resilience, and affordability,” said Jim Walsh, Vice President, GE Vernova’s Consulting Services. “PlanOS gives planners the unified environment they need to simulate, iterate, and act - confidently.”

Four Engines, One Platform

At the heart of PlanOS are four core simulation engines, all built on a shared data architecture:

  • Power Flow: High-fidelity steady-state and dynamic analysis, including contingency studies, transmission planning, and interconnection analysis.
  • Resource Adequacy: Industry-leading fidelity and integration to assess system reliability under a wide range of conditions, integrating weather, outages, and grid constraints.
  • Production Cost: High-speed, extensible and integrated simulation linking investment with real-world dispatch and emissions.
  • Capacity Expansion: Unique optimization engine to test multiple policy, technology, and demand futures - enabling robust, least-regret investment decisions.

Together, these engines allow users to run complex, interconnected studies in a single environment, with a unified dataset model, streamlining workflows and dramatically reducing time to insight.

Performance Meets Practicality

Built with high-performance computing at its core, PlanOS delivers results in a fraction of the time compared to legacy tools. Open APIs, scripting support, and a modular architecture make it both powerful and flexible - meeting the diverse needs of planners across markets and geographies.

“We didn’t start by building a product - we started by solving real planning problems,” said Gagan Porwal, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Software, GE Vernova’s Consulting Services. “PlanOS is the product of decades of experience and global collaboration. It’s been purpose-built and stress-tested - by planners, for planners.”

The facility, once the largest coal plant in Pennsylvania, will provide up to 4.4GW of electricity to power what will become a more than 3,200-acre natural gas-powered data center campus, designed to meet the growing artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) needs of the innovative technology companies shaping America’s digital future. The Homer City Energy Campus is expected to be completed in 2027. ***

“The Homer City project shows what smart energy investments can achieve — delivering more reliable, affordable power for all, creating thousands of skilled jobs, and positioning Pennsylvania to help lead the next era of AI,” Strazik added.

The approximately $100 million of new investments in Pennsylvania over the next two years are part of a larger $9 billion cumulative global capex and R&D investment plan through 2028 that was announced at the company’s Investor Update in December 2024.

Currently GE Vernova’s technology helps produce more than half of the power in the United States, and the company has more than 18,000 workers across 50 states and 18 U.S. manufacturing facilities.

GE Vernova launches first brand campaign: "The Energy of Change"

5 min read
  • Marking one year as an independent company, GE Vernova showcases how relentless optimism leads to breakthrough energy innovation

CAMBRIDGE, MA (April 2, 2025) – On the one-year anniversary of its spin-off from General Electric, GE Vernova is launching its first-ever global brand campaign, "The Energy of Change". This visually striking, emotionally charged initiative highlights the opportunity, progress and momentum happening across the energy sector today. The campaign focuses on relentless optimism and how it is essential to innovation and delivering the critical energy technologies the world needs right now, as energy demand is expected grow by more than 50% in the next 20 years.

“At GE Vernova we know that breakthrough ideas require resilience, grit and a commitment to never giving up and seeing new ways forward - it’s how we’ve advanced our technology for more than 130 years,” said Kristin Carvell, GE Vernova Chief Communications Officer. “We are thrilled to debut our global brand campaign and celebrate the spirit and impact of relentless optimism and how it drives us as we continue our work to run the world on smarter energy every day.”

At the heart of the campaign is a bold, fast-paced film that symbolizes forward progress and showcases the technologies that are shaping the future of energy across each of GE Vernova’s three business segments: Power, Wind and Electrification. The Energy of Change campaign showcases the journey of innovation and how world-shaping change isn’t easy. As the film demonstrates, it’s about “fixing things, changing things, changing the way we fix things” – a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement and real action that drives results. The campaign uses the Japanese art of kintsugi – the art of breaking and repairing to create a more beautiful object - to symbolize the power of resilience and the art of the possible in the innovation process.

GE Vernova’s entrepreneurial edge is embedded in its name. GE Vernova retained its treasured legacy “GE” in the name as an enduring and hard-earned badge of quality and ingenuity. “Ver” / “verde” signal Earth’s verdant and lush ecosystems. “Nova,” from the Latin “novus,” nods to a new, innovative era of energy that GE Vernova is delivering.

The campaign also features three GE Vernova teammates from around the world representing each of its three business segments and a range of its technologies from the portfolio. GE Vernova’s cultural operating principles are symbolically woven throughout the film – its prioritization of safety (safety goggles vignette), its lean operating model focused on continuous improvement (kintsugi vignette) and a commitment to a One Team approach (abstract ‘motion art’ particles coming together to drive forward progress).

Launching today, the campaign will roll out globally across a mix of broadcast, streaming, out-of-home (OOH), social, and digital with major media placements timed around the NCAA’s March Madness tournament and will drive traffic to gevernova.com.

The campaign was developed in collaboration with Droga5 and Accenture Song Sustainability.
