Progress towards our leading goals and metrics

Our leading goals and metrics provide focus to our strategy, helping to focus our efforts where it matters most. Each goal is designed to drive progress across the whole organization and enable more transparent reporting. Find out about the progress we made towards our leading goals in 2024.

Goal 1

Be a leading provider of new power generating capacity and grid capacity for the world

As the demand for electricity is expected to double by 2045 under conservative estimates, the infrastructure to reliably produce, transmit, and transform it will become constrained. As manufacturing capacity to produce and meet the global demand for this type of equipment grows, we will measure the amount of power we bring to the grid – known as generating capacity – and the amount of power that can be effectively transmitted through newly installed infrastructure to homes and businesses – known as grid enabling capacity. In 2024, we brought an additional 31 GW of new power generating capacity online, while 71 GW of new power transformers were energized. In addition to grid enabling power transformers, our Electrification Systems businesses deployed approximately 6 GW of renewable- enabling solar inverters that connect large-scale solar to the grid. Further, 310,000 pieces of our Grid Automation Equipment, without which substations and the transmission system would not be able to work, were shipped from our factories in 2024.

New target

In 2024, we set a new goal to bring a total of 150 GW of new power generating capacity online between 2024 and 2030, helping to support the growing demand for electricity.

Goal 2

Address electrification in regions underserved by reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity

Increasing access to reliable, secure, and affordable electricity addresses energy poverty, fuels growth in global economies, and helps improve quality of life. In 2024, the 31 GW of new power generating capacity that came online was dispersed among 26 countries or regions, 17 of which are categorized as developing or emerging economies by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Of the new power generating capacity added, 62% was in developing and emerging economies. The 71 GW of grid enabling capacity energized in 2024 was spread among 27 countries or regions, 13 of which are categorized as developing or emerging economies by the IMF. Of the grid enabling capacity energized, 34% was in developing and emerging economies. This balanced split demonstrates our reach and ability to help electrify underserved regions.

New target

We are announcing an annual goal that 30% of our new power generating capacity and grid enabling capacity be added in developing or emerging economies.

Goal 3

Support workforce development, with a focus on underserved populations globally

The energy sector requires more highly skilled, specialized workers compared to other industries, with 36% of the energy workforce typically requiring some form of tertiary education, and 51% requiring some vocational training¹. The recently established GE Vernova Foundation supports the development of the energy workforce, and helps drive awareness of the critical role the skilled workforce plays in powering the world. In 2024, we reached ~5,700 students and learners, comprising 19% of our goal. The Foundation focuses its strategic giving on efforts that support the future energy workforce. Key areas include:

  • Education and training programs
  • Promotion of skilled trades
  • Collaborations with industry
  • Technological integration
  • Continuous skilling and upskilling

Mendoza collective action summit

See more details

In April 2025, we hosted the first Mendoza Collective Action Summit in Argentina, bringing together 15 leaders from across the public, private, and academic sectors to share insights on how to grow access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy for all. Together, we developed a set of shared foundational values to guide this work going forward, called The Mendoza Principles. Later this year, we will publish a consensus report to grow the roots to solve the energy trilemma. For now, you can find out more about the Mendoza Collective Action Summit in our 2024 Sustainability Report.
