New gas turbines support Saudi Arabia’s energy transition journey

KOSPO needed an upgrade to its 7F fleet that helped keep pace with South Korea’s fast evolution, expansion, and call for greater power—along with the ability to lower its carbon output.

"We are honored to support KOSPO in reducing carbon through power and thermal energy via liquefied natural gas. Natural gas-fired combined cycle power plants are the lowest emitting fossil fuel power plants, and with South Korea’s power generation stemming primarily from fossil sources, the 7HA will play a critical role in the transition to its lower carbon future."

GE gas turbines, generators, and steam turbines help the Guernsey power station take natural gas from the nearby Marcellus and Utica shale formations and use it to produce enough electricity to supply millions of homes in the PJM region.

"We trust GE… will help us turn current energy transition challenges into the opportunity to drive carbon emissions reduction in the energy sector through the deployment of new flexible, much more efficient… gas-fired plants to substitute for older, less efficient units."

Taiwan’s government has set an ambitious goal to phase out all nuclear power sources by 2025 and increase the country’s use of natural gas to 50%. At the same time, the country is reducing its use of coal and increasing renewable resources.

"Building on a proven track record of delivering and commissioning projects in Taiwan, GE [Vernova] is proud to support Taiwan Power Company in their energy transition program to increase electricity production capacity with more efficient technologies, and bring fast, flexible power to Taiwan."
