Rocky Mountain XPRESS: U.S. Co-Ops Turn to Aeroderivatives for Independence and Support of Renewables Growth

Gregor Macdonald
March 05, 2024

Breaking up is hard to do. For communities determined to quickly adopt wind and solar, however, wriggling free from old coal-power providers is often the first step. That’s exactly what’s happened recently in Colorado, as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) last year granted electricity cooperative United Power’s wish to separate from Tri-State, a legacy generator.

Dawn in the Desert: Saudi Arabia Shifts to the Versatility of Natural Gas Power

Gregor Macdonald
December 06, 2023

Nearly 20 years ago, an oil-and-gas financier named Matt Simmons warned that Saudi Arabia was running out of oil. His book Twilight in the Desert was a sensation in 2005, when the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was producing 9.5 million barrels a day of crude oil. He was wrong: Last year the kingdom was producing 10.6 million barrels a day. So Saudi Arabia’s plan to diversify is not driven by scarcity.

SEC, Alfanar Construction, and GE Vernova switch PP10 from running on liquid fuels to natural gas; step towards meeting Saudi Arabia's carbon emissions reduction goals

December 06, 2023
  • 20 GE Vernova 7E gas turbines planned to be converted from liquid to gas fuel operation
  • By running on natural gas instead of liquid fuel, the 20 units are expected to reduce up to 1.7 million fewer tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year for the same amount of power generated
  • Project is aligned to SEC and Saudi Arabia’s carbon emissions reduction goals

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: December 6, 2023 ‒ GE Vernova’s Gas Power business (NYSE: GE) today announced it has begun the execution of the fuel conversion project for <

Power Vault: GE’s New Quick-Start Power Plant in Germany Aims to Deliver a Reliable Grid

Gregor Macdonald
June 21, 2023

One door closes, and another opens. Not far from one of Germany’s many retired nuclear power plants is a new kind of generator, never before seen on the country’s electricity grid. Opened in March, the 300-megawatt (MW) Biblis Grid Stability Power Plant has one job and one job only: to ensure stability in tense grid situations, when supply and demand are out of balance. In the energy system of the future, such flexible operating resources are important for secure grid operation.

In the ongoing effort to reduce emissions, retire coal, and support the growth of renewables, countries around the world continue to choose high-efficiency natural gas to complement renewables and smooth the path to lower emissions. Take Greece, for example, a country that’s impressively built out wind and solar in recent years but still uses a good deal of coal and even oil in power generation.

Power Balance: How Emerging Economies Can Grow Access to Electricity and Help Decarbonize the Energy Sector

Peter C. Beller
April 12, 2023

Like many emerging economies, Bangladesh and Vietnam share a thirst for electricity. Powered by rapid economic growth, the former expects demand for electricity to jump 250% by 2040, while the latter will see more than a doubling of its demand in a decade, increases that dwarf the typical annual changes in advanced economies like the U.S. Both countries share something else in common: Despite being small contributors to worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, each nation sees climate change as a threat to its population and prosperity.

Swiss Federal Office of Energy Will Call On GE’s Aeroderivative Turbines for Reserve Power This Winter

Will Palmer
October 05, 2022

Blessed with hundreds of high Alpine lakes, Switzerland gets nearly 60% of its electricity from hydropower, with another 30% coming from nuclear and the rest mostly from renewable sources. This year, to help meet the expected electricity demand during the winter, the country has turned to GE technology.

Coal To Gas: How GE Is Helping Poland Advance Its Energy Strategy To Cut Carbon And Promote Renewables

Four years ago, Polish authorities were planning to construct what was to be possibly the last large coal-fired power plant in Europe. Workers had already laid the foundations and cooling towers, and coal boilers were selected for the 1,000-megawatt (MW) project in Ostroleka, a small city northeast of Warsaw.

Coal-fired boilers have provided global industry with steam and power since the industrial revolution. But today, their high carbon emissions have become a liability. Given their steady and reliable output of energy, replacing them is far from simple. Australia’s Manildra Group, a large family-owned agribusiness, is now lighting the way.
