For ‘Wind Girl’ Julia Vey, the Only Thing Better than Getting Wind Turbines Delivered on Time Is the View from the Top

Dianna Delling

The scene: northwest Germany. A quiet farm. Enter a university student with a question that would shape her future. “Hey, when are you getting a wind turbine?”

It was a casual moment, but for Julia Vey, then an apprentice at GE Vernova in nearby Salzbergen, it planted a seed. Back in the early 2000s, wind power was still small-scale, and large turbines were rare. But Julia was fascinated — and determined to be part of what she sensed was coming.

Gas Power

GE Vernova and ESB to modernize Dublin Bay power plant to help boost efficiency and grid reliability

9 min read
  • GE Vernova’s Gas Power and Power Conversion & Storage solutions selected to increase performance of the existing GT26 gas turbines powering ESB’s Dublin Bay power station

  • Modernization is expected to add nearly 30 megawatts (MW) of reliable power, helping to improve stability of the national grid and power more Irish homes

  • The project aims to assist ESB’s decarbonization plans by installing upgrades with the potential to burn hydrogen blends in the future 

DUBLIN, IRELAND (September 8, 2025) – Electricity Supply Board (ESB) of Ireland and GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) have announced a major life extension and modernization project for the Dublin Bay power plant, aimed at enhancing performance, reliability, increasing output, and supporting Ireland’s energy transition goals in line with ESB’s Net Zero by 2040 carbon emissions strategy.

Under a new contractual service agreement, GE Vernova will implement its GT26 High Efficiency (HE) upgrade along with its SEMIPOLTM technology for Static Excitation Equipment (SEE) and Startup Frequency Converter (SFC). This life extension project is expected to be completed in 2026.

Commissioned in 2002, the Dublin Bay facility currently generates up to 415 Megawatts (MW) using a single -shaft GT26 gas turbine.

The major life extension project is expected to deliver:

·       Up to 30 MW of additional power, which is the power needed to supply the equivalent of approximately approximately 30,000 Irish homes annually

·       Efficiency gains of up to 1.8% at baseload, leading to 5% carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction

·       Improved grid stability through advanced excitation and frequency conversion systems

·       Lower carbon intensity, supporting ESB’s decarbonization strategy and enabling future use of hydrogen fuel blends.

“Although Dublin Bay is already one of our most efficient plants, we saw an opportunity in having an even more important role in delivering our Net Zero carbon emissions strategy by further enhancing its performance, reliability and sustainability.” said Arkadiusz Galant, Dublin Stations Manager, ESB. “Our life extension project in 2026 will help us to deliver more power allowing us to provide electricity for Irish households over the next decade while being more efficient with lower emissions and enabling possible future hydrogen blends.”

“This project builds on our long-standing partnership with ESB,” said Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East, and Africa “The GT26 HE upgrade and SEMIPOL™ technologies will not only increase output and efficiency but also provide the flexibility and reliability needed to support Ireland’s evolving energy landscape.”

About the GT26 HE Upgrade
Introduced in 2019 to support the utilization and competitiveness of the GT26 gas turbine, this upgrade integrates advanced technology from GE Vernova’s F and H class fleets, including additive manufactured parts and innovations in aerodynamics, materials and combustion. The performance improvement that the HE solution can deliver is attributable to technology breakthroughs across every major component of the GT26 gas turbine - turbine, compressor and combustor - that helps decrease fuel costs while increasing full-load output and extend maintenance intervals.

Located mostly in Europe, Middle East, Latin America and Asia, the GT26 gas turbine fleet of more than 100 units delivers an approximate total of 37 gigawatt of power capacity and can combust up to 40 percent of hydrogen with natural gas.

About SEMIPOL™ Static Excitation and Startup frequency converter technology
The Power Conversion & Storage business works with customers in utilities and industries that benefit from power stability solutions.  The combination of SEMIPOL™ SEE and SFC conversion systems are crucial for generator startups in gas power plants, synchronizing the generator on the grid, and managing the effects of grid power and frequency variation. This allows for smooth startups and helps to reduce mechanical stress, extend equipment life, and lower maintenance cost.  It has an installed base of over 1,000 SEE & SFC systems.

                                                                 ###
Notes to editors

Financial Editors:  Please note this order was booked in the first quarter of 2025.

BWRX-300 small modular reactor down selected by Vattenfall

4 min read

WILMINGTON, North Carolina (August 21, 2025) – The GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) has been down selected by Vattenfall as it evaluates the construction of new reactors adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on the Värö Peninsula in Sweden.

“We are excited with Vattenfall’s decision, which follows a thorough evaluation process,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power, GE Vernova. “As the only small modular reactor under construction in the Western world, the BWRX-300 is strongly positioned to help Sweden meet its expanding energy needs and net zero ambitions.”

“We have a long history of supporting the nuclear industry in the Nordics and are ready to be a key collaborator in Vattenfall’s new nuclear program,” said Jason Cooper, Advanced Nuclear CEO for GVH. “In addition to being available to deploy in a timeframe that makes a difference for Sweden’s plans, this technology uses licensed fuel and is designed to reduce construction and operating costs.”

Momentum around the BWRX-300 continues to build globally. Construction of the first BWRX-300 is underway at Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) Darlington site near Toronto. A total of four units are planned for the site. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted and is reviewing Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) application to construct the first BWRX-300 in the U.S., at the utility’s Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. OPG, TVA, Duke Energy and Synthos Green Energy in Poland are investing in the standard design of the BWRX-300. These developments support GVH’s progress and leadership in scaling and deploying SMRs commercially to customers around the globe.
