Fifteen years ago, the world’s power grids were starting to change fast. As coal plants retired and renewables expanded, power systems needed technology that could deliver both flexibility and scale. GE Vernova’s H-class gas turbine was built for that moment, and its record-breaking combined-cycle efficiency helped make it the fastest-growing fleet in its class.

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, le 21 mai 2026 – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE : GEV) a annoncé aujourd’hui la signature d’une entente définitive visant l’acquisition de Robotech Automatisation (« Robotech »), un intégrateur spécialisé en robotique et en systèmes d’automatisation établi près de Montréal, au Québec (Canada), afin d’accélérer ses capacités en robotique et en automatisation.

Robotech est une entreprise privée qui emploie environ 35 personnes et qui offre des solutions d’automatisation sur mesure grâce à une combinaison de conception interne, d’ingénierie et de capacités d’intégration, soutenues par un réseau de partenaires de confiance dans le domaine de la fabrication.

« Robotech dispose exactement du type de talents spécialisés, de systèmes exclusifs et d’expertise pratique en intégration qui accéléreront ce que nous bâtissons chez GE Vernova en robotique et en automatisation », a déclaré Scott Strazik, chef de la direction de GE Vernova. « GE Vernova s’engage à faire progresser ses capacités dans des domaines essentiels à nos activités et à notre compétitivité. Cette acquisition constitue une étape ciblée et stratégique pour intégrer des talents clés, accélérer nos programmes internes et établir une capacité de déploiement de robotique de calibre mondial au sein de notre Centre de recherche avancée. »

« Nous sommes fiers de la solide équipe talentueuse à l’origine du succès de Robotech ; c’est cette équipe qui a façonné l’entreprise telle qu’elle est aujourd’hui. Le fait de se joindre à GE Vernova, un partenaire d’affaires de longue date dont les valeurs correspondent étroitement aux nôtres, marque un nouveau chapitre stimulant et une occasion importante pour notre équipe », ont déclaré Carl Thibault et Francis Bourbonnais, cofondateurs de Robotech. « La direction de GE Vernova comprend réellement l’importance de l’innovation, de l’automatisation et de la robotique pour demeurer compétitif sur le marché mondial, et nous sommes convaincus que notre équipe s’épanouira en contribuant à cette vision. Cette occasion permettra à nos employés de se développer autant sur le plan technique que personnel au sein d’une grande organisation solide qui offre des possibilités d’avancement significatives et des projets hautement novateurs. »

La transaction proposée viendrait soutenir les efforts en cours en robotique et en automatisation au sein du Centre de recherche avancée de l’entreprise en vue d’un déploiement dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement de l’entreprise afin d’améliorer les résultats en matière de sécurité, de qualité, de livraison et de coûts. La transaction appuie également la stratégie d’allocation du capital de GE Vernova, qui comprend des fusions et acquisitions ciblées et stratégiques.

GE Vernova et Robotech collaborent déjà sur des projets actifs au sein de la chaîne d’approvisionnement de GE Vernova, notamment dans les usines de la société à Schenectady, dans l’État de New York, et à Charleroi, en Pennsylvanie.

Bien que les modalités financières de l’acquisition ne soient pas rendues publiques, la transaction devrait être conclue au début du troisième trimestre de 2026, sous réserve de certaines conditions de clôture.

La présence de GE Vernova au Canada s’étend sur plus de 130 ans. Aujourd’hui, plus de 2 400 employés répartis dans six établissements de fabrication et bureaux contribuent à façonner l’avenir énergétique du pays. Dans toutes les régions, nous appuyons nos clients avec des solutions de bout en bout en matière de production d’électricité, de transport, de conversion, de stockage et d’orchestration du réseau, notamment en construisant, avec Ontario Power Generation à Toronto, le premier petit réacteur modulaire du monde occidental. Nos technologies permettent actuellement de produire environ 43 % de l’électricité du Canada, alimentant ainsi les collectivités, les industries et un avenir énergétique plus résilient pour les générations à venir.

As artificial intelligence scales, so does the challenge of powering it. New data centers demand more advanced power and control systems that reliably deliver massive quantities of energy. Researchers are developing flexible, efficient infrastructure designed for the next generation of computing.

Towering above hilltops and open plains, wind turbines are a common symbol of renewable energy and the global fight against climate change. However, even renewable power sources can leave a carbon footprint. Case in point: The tall towers that hold the energy-creating rotors and machine head aloft are made from a material that accounts for between 7% and 9% of all human-made greenhouse gas emissions: steel.

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

Making good on their nickname, Sunbelt States from Georgia to Arizona are building lots of new solar these days. Texas is currently leading the way, but plenty of other states are cranking up their growth. In the past 12 months, Mississippi has grown solar 73%, and Louisiana has been even more aggressive, hitting 90%, according to the Energy Information Administration.

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.

WILMINGTON, North Carolina (March 10, 2026) – Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF, a GE Vernova-led alliance with Hitachi, Ltd. and affiliate of GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy) today announced it has been awarded a contract by Entergy to continue to fuel its Grand Gulf and River Bend Station nuclear power plants.

The new agreement extends the current fuel supply contract through 2035 and includes four reloads of the new GNF4 fuel design.

“We have fueled Grand Gulf and River Bend continuously since 2008 and are proud to support Entergy with our newest, most advanced fuel design, GNF4,” said Craig Ranson, Installed Base CEO, GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and CEO of GNF. “We look forward to bringing the economic and performance benefits of GNF4 to Entergy.”

Lead use assemblies of GNF4 will be loaded into River Bend in 2027, while GNF4 reloads are scheduled for Grand Gulf in 2030 and River Bend in 2031.   

Introduced in October 2025, the 11x11 GNF4 next generation fuel product features two advanced components that are licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission: Ziron cladding, which was developed to better resist corrosion, and aluminosilicate doped uranium dioxide pellets, which delivers Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) benefits through an extra layer of reliability.

“Entergy is proud to continue our long-standing relationship with GE Vernova for fueling our BWR units,” said Jack Davis, GM Nuclear Fuels & Integrated Risk Services, Entergy. “Entergy has been at the forefront of ATF technology advancements, translating high-technology readiness innovations into practical applications. The innovative GNF4 product allows us to achieve the same power levels with less uranium and less enrichment which translates into savings for our customers.”

Fuel for the plants will be fabricated by GNF at its Wilmington, NC facility.

GNF provides a wide range of services to support nuclear power plants including expert core and fuel cycle engineering, reload licensing and core management services, predictive reports and fuel reliability risk assessments, cyber-secure core monitoring and fleet analytics, fuel examination services and consulting on reactor operations and long-term fuel storage.
