But that doesn’t mean GE’s engineers are resting on their laurels: They’re continuing to improve the machine, whose latest evolution, the 7HA.03, will soon allow Florida Power & Light Company’s Dania Beach Energy Center to squeeze more power per cubic foot of natural gas than previous products. That could translate to $300 million in net savings for power customers over the life of the plant — a big chunk of change, indeed.
