With demand for electricity rising fast, expanding access to power while reducing emissions is becoming more urgent. Getting there will require new systems, new ways of working, and, most importantly, people who can bring it all together.

On April 22, as the world marked Earth Day, 15 GE Vernova employees gathered at the New York Stock Exchange to ring the opening bell. They represented thousands working across regions, roles, and technologies, united by a shared mission to electrify the world while building a more sustainable energy future.

The world’s demand for energy is growing at a pace that’s increasingly difficult to match — and two years into its journey as a standalone company, GE Vernova is meeting the challenge head-on. The company is helping energy customers find reliable, cost-effective solutions for today that can be quickly scaled to meet the needs of tomorrow. Here are just a few of them.

Electrifying the Future of Data Centers and AI

In the early hours of October 25, 2023, residents of Acapulco watched Hurricane Otis gather strength offshore. Forecasts had suggested a manageable storm. Instead, within less than 12 hours, Otis intensified from a Category 1 to a Category 5, with gusts exceeding 165 miles per hour.

Tucked away on Tanzania’s southeastern coast, not far from the border with Mozambique, Mtwara is a region with vast potential. Rich in both onshore and offshore natural gas, it has become central to government plans for long-term economic growth. Yet, until recently, power demand was outpacing the available power supply in the region.

The world’s demand for energy shows no sign of abating.

In today’s fast-paced world of innovation and transformation, staying ahead means more than just delivering high-quality, world-class technology and energy systems. It means investing in the people behind them.

When a company’s people grow, the business grows too. That’s why learning, development, and personal growth are important to GE Vernova. Its technical academies take employees on a learning journey through bespoke training programs that feature technical experts, classroom training, and hands-on opportunities.

In 2025, as GE Vernova celebrated one full year as a standalone company, the company took ideas that were only recently on the drafting board and put them into action. From small modular nuclear reactors to advanced grid software to a high-voltage superhighway on the Baltic Sea, a new world of innovations is emerging to electrify and decarbonize the world. Take a look at how 2025 was the year GE Vernova began making the future come alive today.

Earlier this year, GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik wrote that helping to solve the energy challenges of tomorrow depends on the “gritty, never-give-up” hopefulness of its 75,000 employees. “What we’ve learned in our first historic year as GE Vernova is that the best way to do this starts on our factory floors, at the installed base, and in our research centers, all guided by a relentless sense of optimism in our capacity to create and lead positive change.”

Last month, world leaders met in Belém, Brazil, at the UN’s COP30 summit to share their plans to implement solutions to address climate change.

Statistics reflect what leaders like Yogini Parkhi know from experience. At a key moment in many girls’ lives, they’re nudged away from interests like math and science. “I know it happened to me growing up in India,” says Parkhi, the engineering leader for GE Vernova’s Grid OS Data Fabric and Connect business. She saw the same thing happen with her daughter years later in the States. “When she was 10 she could solve a Rubik’s Cube in 50 seconds,” Parkhi recalls.
