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. When it struck Mexico’s Pacific coast, howling winds tore through homes, hospitals, and businesses — and left the city’s electrical infrastructure in tatters.

How does one of the world’s fastest-growing economies keep the lights on while rewiring its future to meet the needs and goals of a net-zero world? This is the question being asked today in Vietnam, a nation at an exciting crossroads, balancing rapid economic growth with the imperative to build a cleaner, more resilient energy system.

Getting huge infrastructure projects built requires resources, patience, technical know-how, and a certain amount of ambition. In the case of Aula Energy’s newest wind farm, in remote South Australia, it also took teamwork among a diverse group of experts from various organizations who had to coordinate everything from building new roads to studying unlikely power outages under a tight deadline.

Tucked away on Tanzania’s southeastern coast, not far from the border with Mozambique, Mtwara is a region with vast potential. Rich in both onshore and offshore natural gas, it has become central to government plans for long-term economic growth. Yet, until recently, power demand was outpacing the available power supply in the region.

Wind power is entering a period of accelerated growth. By the end of the decade, global capacity is expected to nearly double, to more than 2,000 gigawatts. Meeting that demand will require not only new factories, but more from the ones already operating — producing at greater scale, moving faster, and operating more efficiently.

There isn’t one single remedy to solve climate change. It’s going to take a full toolbox of strategies to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide currently being pumped into the air and to maintain lower levels in the future. Companies are pivoting to renewable energy and more efficient processes, but ensuring a resilient grid requires a broad mix of technologies. This means not just using lower-carbon fuels and capturing emissions during before they enter the atmosphere, but removing them where they already exist.

On Monday, February 2, 2026, we announced the completion of our acquisition of the remaining 50% stake of Prolec GE, our former unconsolidated joint venture with Xignux (“Prolec GE”).

Yesterday, GE Vernova released its 2025 Annual Report. The report includes a letter to shareholders from our CEO Scott Strazik, and our 2025 10-K. We encourage you to review the materials on our website.

The world’s demand for energy shows no sign of abating. By 2050, global energy consumption is expected to be around one-third higher than in 2022, driven by population growth, booming demand from commercial and industrial sectors to enable the growth of artificial intelligence, and higher living standards, among other factors.
