GE Vernova and PyroGenesis sign MOU to advance industrial electrification

ATLANTA, GA (March 6, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that its industry leading H-Class gas turbine technology has amassed more than 3 million commercial operating hours across 116 units globally, the equivalent capacity needed to power more than 50 million U.S. homes. In addition to benefitting customers to provide efficient, dispatchable baseload power and supporting the energy transition, the growing fleet of operating HA gas turbines can provide significant value for GE Vernova through long-term maintenance and services contracts.

Since the first HA unit launched in commercial operations in 2016 with record-setting combined cycle efficiency, the HA fleet has generated more than 67 gigawatts (GW) of power, equal to one of these turbines running for 342 years, The fleet has helped power plant operators provide efficient electricity, reduce emissions, increase efficiency, retire coal-fired facilities, and integrate greater levels of renewable energy.

“This is an exciting milestone for the industry’s largest HA fleet,” said Eric Gray, President & CEO, GE Vernova’s Gas Power business. “Thanks to the strong collaboration with our customers, we are able to help them meet electrification and decarbonization goals with powerful and efficient technologies like the HA gas turbine. As more HA turbines come online, these milestones will only accelerate, while driving significant services for GE Vernova for decades to come and bringing greater reliability and operating performance for our customers.”

In addition to electrification, GE Vernova’s HA gas turbines have a pathway to decarbonization—both pre-combustion with hydrogen, with a current capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas, and post-combustion with carbon capture and sequestration. For example, at the new Net Zero Teesside Power project in the U.K., GE Vernova will supply a 9HA.02 turbine to power the world’s first commercial scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture.

In addition to traditional power generation and decarbonization, GE Vernova’s HA gas turbines are also well positioned for the growing need for more and larger, energy-intensive data centers. Recent agreements with Chevron and NRG and Kiewit are testaments to our commitment to accelerating new generation capacity to support demand growth and of the fleet’s broad appeal.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that data centers have the potential to double their energy usage by 2026. The rise of AI computational demand, along with the investment supercycle in electric power sector, has moved the IEA to raise its growth forecasts for global power. In its latest report, released in February, the IEA reported global electricity demand is expected to rise at a faster rate over the next three years, growing by an average of 3.4% annually through 2026. — one of the strongest sustained growth trajectories in many years.

To help meet this growing demand, GE Vernova announced more than $160 million investment in its Greenville, South Carolina, facility earlier this year. GE Vernova’s world-class manufacturing and services facility in Greenville will continue to represent the company’s largest gas turbine manufacturing plant and the HA Repairs Center of Excellence for the Americas Region, with the most powerful off-grid gas turbine validation facility in the world. This investment is focused on increasing capacity to help meet market needs, including plans to produce 70 to 80 heavy-duty gas turbines per year beginning in the second half of 2026 and shipping approximately 20 gigawatts annually starting in 2027.

ATLANTA, GA (February 13, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today Dominion Energy’s Bushy Park Combustion Turbine (Bushy Park CT) facility achieved the start of commercial operation in Berkeley County, South Carolina, USA on November 1, 2024. The 52 megawatt** (MW) Bushy Park CT #1, powered by a GE Vernova LM6000VELOX* package solution including an LM6000* gas turbine and generator, marked the first LM6000VELOX package plant solution in operation globally.

GE Vernova introduced the LM6000VELOX package in 2023 aiming to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbines by up to 40%, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The enhancements incorporated in the new package aim to also reduce site construction delays for power generation utilities, EPCs, and other industry stakeholders.

The new LM6000VELOX, along with two other units ordered for Dominion Energy’s Parr facility in Fairfield County, South Carolina that are currently under construction, replaced older peaking generation units which help the company meet demands during peak energy usage. In addition to supporting peak usage periods, these fully dispatchable units complement solar generation on days when sunshine is limited or intermittent throughout the day. The Bushy Park and future Parr units incorporate an array of operational flexibility capabilities including dual-fuel capabilities, fast-starting, synchronous condensing, and black start. GE Vernova’s scope of supply included selective catalytic reduction and oxidation catalyst systems, which coupled with dry low exhaust combustion, enable best-in-class air emissions performance without the need for water injection.

“Achieving commercial operation of the Bushy Park project demonstrates our continued commitment to providing safe, reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy in the communities we serve,” said Keller Kissam, President of Dominion Energy South Carolina. “Investments in flexible, efficient units are critical to meet growing loads in one of the fastest growing states in the country and complement the large amounts of intermittent solar on our grid.”

“This project marks the first time this solution is in operation globally and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone with Dominion Energy“ said Dave Ross, President and CEO for GE Vernova's Gas Power business in the Americas. “This aeroderivative solution can provide dispatchable and lower carbon-emitting power compared to older units, and also important black-start capability necessary for restoring power after a blackout.”

GE Vernova is a leading supplier to Dominion Energy, which contributes to meeting the electricity needs of approximately 3.6 million customers in Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,300 units shipped, the LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is a leader in the +40 MW space. In addition to the two LM6000VELOX packages currently being installed at Dominion Energy’s Parr facility, there are ten LM6000VELOX packages being installed at Tennessee Valley Authority’s Johnsonville Aeroderivative Power Plant in the Middle of Tennessee with an expected start of operation in 2025.
