Repower with

GE's aeroderivative gas turbine technology

Our proficiency in gas turbine replacement and flange-to-flange (including plant integration) solutions for aeroderivative (aero), industrial, and heavy-duty gas turbines from different OEMs–including Siemens, Westinghouse, Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce–will position your plant to be competitive in the future.

Why repower

Replacement gas turbines that fit into your infrastructure

Repowering is a beneficial solution for plant operators looking to reduce both upfront and operating costs, as well as emissions. Replacement gas turbines from GE allow your plant to achieve higher output and efficiency, which leads to lower $/kWh, and these newer gas turbines will help keep your plant more environmentally compliant.

Improved economics from repowering your gas turbine

Repowering your turbine assets with aeroderivative technology

With their origins from our fabled aviation technology, GE’s aeroderivative gas turbine portfolio features highly flexible and mobile technologies for use in a wide variety of applications. Our aeros are trusted and proven the world over and have a wide range of characteristics that make them a great choice for energy providers.

power increase with combined repowered turbine and LNG

"

"As the sole distributor of electricity in Jamaica, we see the use of LNG as resulting in greater stability in the price of electricity for our customers. By replacing a 19-year old unit with GE's advanced aeroderivative technology, we’ll be able to deliver more efficient power to our people, our businesses, and our critical facilities."

Joseph Williams

Senior Vice President of Generation, JPS

Project details

Integrating the LM2500+ gas turbine, GE Power Services signed an agreement with JPS to modernize its generation equipment and provide expert advisement at its Bogue Power Station in Montego Bay.
