Help build the energy future!

At GE Vernova, we take on an ambitious challenge every day: to contribute to the production of more sustainable energy for future generations.

The fight against climate change is a global priority. As a company whose technology is used to power approximately 25% of the world's electricity, we take our responsibility seriously. GE Vernova is a company taking part in a new energy era - electrifying the world while working to decarbonize it. We are accelerating the transition to more reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, while helping our customers power economies and provide the electricity essential for health, safety, security and improved quality of life.

GE Vernova's Hydroelectric business designs, develops, manufactures and services advanced technologies that harness the power of water to provide reliable, sustainable energy. For more than a century, hydropower has played a vital role in North American and global electricity systems. Today, it is the largest source of renewable energy in the world, and pumped storage technology represented the largest source of energy storage. But to reach net zero emissions globally by 2050, we need to double the amount of existing hydropower. Whether pumped-storage, run-of-river, or by upgrading the existing installed base, hydropower will continue to be the cornerstone of North America's energy future.
