Company

Overview

April 2024

Founded

The company emerged from the spin-off of GE's energy units in April 2024.

>$10B Quarterly Revenue

Revenue Growth

Achieves over $10 billion in quarterly revenue, driven by demand for power infrastructure and digital solutions.

$3B

Wind Turbine Backlog

Maintains a significant backlog in wind turbine orders, reflecting strong market demand.

25%

Global Electricity Supply

Contributes to generating 25% of the world’s electricity through its installed turbines and grids.
