Inside GE’s energy transformation
Evolving to meet the challenges of change is what we do. One thing that will never change is our commitment to deliver more affordable, sustainable energy to people around the world. Together with our customers, we are co-creating the future of energy.
Go behind the scenes with GE employees as they travel to customer sites, manufacturing facilities, and test labs to discover how GE and our customers are developing the energy technologies of the future and improving the power networks we depend on today.
A Power Grid Built for the Future
As the energy industry shifts towards a broader mix of fuels and sources, the grid must also evolve to adapt and deliver reliable power. Host John Dyer travels to the Philadelphia Navy Yard to see how microgrids and GE’s digital grid technology can help customers reduce emissions and energy cost, and increase resilience while getting the reliable, sustainable energy they need.
About the host: John Dyer is the compressor aeromechanics technical leader for GE’s gas turbine business in Greenville, SC. John enjoys testing gas turbines in GE’s test stands and at customer sites all over the world. In his free time he likes to travel and find adventure in the outdoors, from hiking and surfing to electric skateboarding and traveling the back roads with his wife in their old VW camper van.
