With up to 95% assembly in the factory, the LM2500XPRESS was created for speed and simplicity. The LM2500XPRESS comes pre-packaged in 10 simplified modules for easy install and features 27 electrical interconnects vs. 130+ for a traditional plant, as well as minimal mechanical interconnects. Module systems flushing is completed at the factory, so customers don’t need to flush on-site. For customers who need power in days, not weeks, the LM2500XPRESS can be installed in about 14 days by 20 people.
The LM2500’s high efficiency helps reduce operating costs, plant emissions, and reliance on the local grid. With its dual fuel capability, including singular annular combustor (SAC) or GE’s latest dual fuel dry low emissions (DLE) technology, the LM2500 delivers performance with low emissions in a variety of situations and water availability scenarios. It features high reliability with control system redundancy, along with multiple options for configuration, making it a great choice for customers who need a more tailored power generation solution. The LM2500’s cycling capability allows multiple daily starts and stops, providing a strong solution for grids with penetration of renewable generation. Its open configuration allows for faster accessibility, easier maintenance, and increased speed of engine removal/replacement.

"We’re pleased to be working with technology providers such as GE Gas Power as part of our goals to accelerate the coal-to-gas transition, manage energy shortages, stabilize the grid, and support the growth of renewables in Taiwan. We trust that GE’s aeroderivative gas power technology will help provide fast, flexible and more sustainable power for the people of Taiwan."
Director Hsu
Taiwan Power Company installed six GE LM2500XPRESS gas turbine generator sets at the Tung Hsiao Power Plant. Installed within 10 months, this aeroderivative gas turbine technology is first-of-its-kind in Taiwan. Total installed capacity is 180MW—ample intermittent electricity to support wind power and other sustainable sources.

LM2500XPRESS gas turbines for Germany
"We are delighted that we were awarded the contract for the Biblis site. The excellent existing infrastructure there and our reliable and flexible concept for the plant have won out. We will thus be able to make an important contribution towards security of supply in Southern Hesse. We have a long-standing relationship with GE and we’re proud to work together to install the world’s first LM2500XPRESS."
Roger Miesen (CEO of RWE Generation)
In the northern region of Germany there is an abundance of renewable power available, but there is a lack of power being transmitted to the southern portion of the country. GE provided 11 LM2500XPRESS gas turbines, as well as generators and other equipment, for RWE Generation’s Biblis power plant to increase grid stability throughout the country.

Colorado’s early jump on moving to renewables
"The LM2500XPRESS units were purchased to provide safe, affordable and reliable generation to support the increased use of renewable solar and wind power. These natural gas units will help us better integrate renewable energy sources, further reduce CO2 emissions and accelerate the retirement of the Martin Drake Power Plant."
Aram Benyamin (CEO of Colorado Springs Utilities)
Colorado Spring Utilities (CSU) needed to mitigate grid instability due to increasing renewable penetration. GE provided 6 LM2500XPRESS gas turbines—North America’s first—with a CO catalyst, gas compressors and black start diesel generator to help CSU transition to a cleaner, more competitive future. All six gas turbines are now in operation and providing cleaner power for CSU Drake.

"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)
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.
