A journey like no other
In 2018, GE embarked on an exploration that touches every aspect of our lives, through a partnership with Turner’s Courageous Studios.
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
Inspiring people and innovative technologies
In this three-part series, we explore the future of energy. With host Mikey Kay and a camera crew in tow, we set off to meet some of the most inspiring people and innovative technologies in the energy industry today. Going to new places, capturing the textures, the emotions, the sounds and the flavors of the world—here are their stories.
THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
The Power of Power
For years, Pakistan has had a severe energy shortage with rolling power outages lasting up to 18 hours a day, but new power technologies and international partnerships are energizing growth. In this film, our host Mikey Kay travels to Asia to discover the difference global collaboration has made for the people of Pakistan.

Energy behind the scenes
Some of the greatest moments of innovation and progress happen when the camera isn’t rolling. In a series of articles, we take an in-depth look at the technology and people that are creating a more reliable, efficient energy future in our increasingly decentralized, decarbonized, and digitalized world.
This has always been my dream
Earlier this year, GE Power delivered a major upgrade for India’s power grid: a Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS) which allows engineers to track power flow across 110 substations in the country’s Northern Grid.
Lightning in a bottle
Batteries energized the first wave of scientific research into electricity. But renewable energy has made grid-scale energy storage, like the GE Reservoir, an important part of our energy future.
