GE Vernova powers Africa’s industrialisation with integrated energy solutions

6 min read
  • Delivering a comprehensive portfolio of energy solutions to accelerate Africa's industrialisation and economic growth. 

  • Showcasing CERius™, an AI-powered decarbonisation software that enables sustainable industry and global competitiveness.

  • Providing advanced grid-firming technologies to enable the reliability and stability of the continent’s energy systems. 

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (June 17, 2026) – In line with the Africa Energy Forum’s theme, ‘Building Africa’s industrialized Future,’ GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today showcased its comprehensive portfolio of technologies engineered to translate large-scale infrastructure ambitions into operational reality. Success in this new industrial era requires a holistic approach, one that bridges the gap between power generation and industrial application. By integrating sustainable energy generation, advanced electrification systems, and digital decarbonization tools, GE Vernova aims to enable African industries to scale with precision, helping ensure that energy remains a reliable, affordable, and sustainable foundation for the continent’s economic transformation.

At the event, GE Vernova is demonstrating how digital intelligence is accelerating the energy transition. In Tunisia, the state utility STEG identified an opportunity to evaluate GE Vernova’s CERius™, a sophisticated digital platform that integrates artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, and digital twin technology to create a digital framework for emissions management. By moving from hardware-heavy monitoring to a software-driven digital framework, STEG is gaining real-time, auditable emissions data critical for aligning with international standards - including the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Validation at the Sousse B power plant confirmed the effectiveness of this digital approach. Beyond achieving high consistency in emissions monitoring, STEG anticipates that this software-driven shift will reduce related investment and maintenance costs by up to 50%. By enhancing traceability, this initiative supports Tunisia’s ambitious electricity export strategy to Europe, proving that data-driven decarbonization is a powerful catalyst for regional economic growth.

Alongside digital innovation, GE Vernova emphasized that as the continent accelerates its energy transition, the focus should shift from merely adding capacity to confirming grid infrastructure is inherently stable and resilient. To support this, the company released a new whitepaper at the event – Spain's 2025 Blackout Experience: Grid Firming Needs for Developing Power Systems with High-Renewable Penetration.” 

The paper’s core recommendation is that future grids must be engineered for resilience, not just energy delivery. To successfully scale renewable energy, African nations are encouraged to prioritize grid stability from the outset, applying lessons learned from the Iberian Peninsula to build power systems that are as reliable as they are sustainable. By integrating flexible, grid-forming technologies - such as aeroderivative gas turbines, synchronous condensers, and advanced power electronic - and by explicitly valuing grid-support services, Africa can leapfrog traditional infrastructure hurdles. This approach enables the development of a more reliable and sustainable power system capable of supporting long-term economic growth. For further strategic guidance on these shifts, GE Vernova’s white paper, Ensuring Power System Stability in an Evolving Electrical Grid, maps out the essential path for modernizing power systems."

"Building Africa’s industrial future starts with getting the fundamentals right: power that is reliable, sustainable, and ready to scale," said Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. "A modern, stable grid is the backbone of this vision. Our goal is to provide a complete toolkit - from the AI that manages decarbonization to the grid technology that keeps the system stable - and to partner with African leaders to make that future a reality." 

Building on over 125 years of collaboration across the continent, GE Vernova continues to support Africa’s energy evolution by delivering comprehensive power generation, transmission, and distribution solutions alongside critical software and community-focused initiatives. Through this deep-rooted presence, the company is actively fostering the technical self-sufficiency required to power the next generation of industrial growth.

GE Vernova Introduces GridOS® for Transmission and New AI Whitepapers at Orchestrate 2026

6 min read
  • GE Vernova has introduced GridOS for Transmission: a unified software solution that enables near real-time, coordinated transmission operations 

  • At industry-leading Orchestrate Conference, GE Vernova releases two new AI whitepapers exploring grid planning and grid-edge autonomy

ATLANTA, GA., June 9, 2026 – GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) today introduces GridOS for Transmission and released two new AI whitepapers addressing grid planning and autonomous grid-edge operations at Orchestrate 2026, the company's annual grid software conference bringing together utility leaders, grid operators, and technology experts to examine how software is reshaping grid modernization as electricity demand surges and grid complexity accelerates.

"Meeting rising electricity demand will require more than adding generation, it demands a grid that can coordinate, adapt, and act faster than ever before," said Philippe Piron, CEO of GE Vernova's Electrification segment. "Software is now central to how utilities plan investments, operate networks, and respond to near real-time conditions. What we're introducing at Orchestrate reflects our conviction that the grid of the future runs on intelligence and that utilities need that intelligence across every layer, from long-range planning to the grid edge."

Orchestrate 2026: Bringing the Industry Together to Drive Grid Modernization

Orchestrate is GE Vernova's annual conference for utility leaders and grid operators to engage with the software strategies and technologies redefining grid modernization. This year's agenda reflects the mounting pressures utilities face: surging load, deeper renewable integration, and frequent extreme weather and the growing role software plays in helping them respond.

Today's announcements reinforce GE Vernova's position that software is no longer a layer on top of the grid – it is a core enabler of faster, more coordinated decisions across planning and operations, and the only mechanism capable of addressing a coordination problem that is beyond human scale.

GridOS for Transmission

GE Vernova's Grid Software business today introduces GridOS for Transmission, a unified grid intelligence solution for operating and orchestrating the transmission network as one system. By bringing together near real-time operations, capacity awareness, forecasting, and system stability into a single coordinated environment, GridOS for Transmission helps utilities shorten control room decision cycles, improve utilization of existing transmission capacity, and respond faster to rapidly changing grid conditions.

The solution integrates intelligence from core transmission applications including AEMS (Advanced Energy Management System), DDLR (Digital Dynamic Line Rating), WAMS (Wide-Area Monitoring System), and forecasting tools, alongside DER management, Visual Intelligence, and asset behavior data, giving operators a unified, context-rich decision environment.

With this operating model, utilities can reduce decision latency, operate closer to actual system limits, identify emerging stability risks earlier, and respond more effectively during disturbances and peak-stress events.

New AI Whitepapers on Grid Planning and Grid-Edge Operations

GE Vernova today released two whitepapers addressing complementary dimensions of AI's role in utility operations. Both whitepapers are coming from GE Vernova's Grid Automation and Software business.

"Reimagining the Grid Edge: Autonomous Distribution Technologies as the Key to Managing Decentralization and Enhancing Resilience," outlines how Autonomous Distribution (AD) enables utilities to detect, isolate, and restore faults in seconds rather than minutes. The paper covers AI capabilities at the grid edge including adaptive zone management, predictive controls, software-defined architecture, and integration with existing EMS and ADMS environments. By empowering grid operators to manage distributed assets, AD improves grid resilience, adjusts to evolving demands, reduces costs, and increases efficiency, paving the way for a fault-tolerant future in a decentralized energy landscape.

"AI in Grid Planning: Unlock Resilience, Faster Decisions, and Lower Costs,"  outlines how utilities can apply AI to long-range planning, interconnection analysis, forecasting, and risk management, all anchored by a living, digital grid twin. Use cases include interconnection backlog reduction, non-wires alternatives analysis, vegetation- and wildfire-risk management, storm preparedness, and advanced load and generation forecasting.

Together, the whitepapers underscore GE Vernova's view that utilities need intelligence across the full grid lifecycle, from planning investments years ahead to managing near real-time operations from the control room to the grid edge.

Reimaging the Grid Edge  and AI in Grid Planning whitepapers are available for download.
