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.

Traces roots back to Edison and Alstom, merging power, renewable, digital & financial wings.
Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, crafts large-scale gas turbines, SMRs, wind turbines, hydro and grid tech to fuel economies.
On the nuclear front, advancing small modular reactors (like BWRX‑300) in partnership with utilities and supporting semiconductor projects.
Wind prowess spans onshore, offshore and blade making—with key sites like Dogger Bank offshore and blade plants in Spain.
Electrification arm tackles grid stability: HVDC, transformers, storage, conversion, plus GridOS software powering smarter infrastructure.
Weaves finance and consulting through energy-infrastructure investments, funding solar farms to pipelines via GE Energy Financial Services.

Culture + Values

Relentlessly focused on advancing the world’s transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy.
Believes in working with customers, partners, and communities to create innovative energy solutions that make a meaningful difference.
Prioritizes excellence, integrity, and accountability in everything they do.
Committed to driving real change through technology and partnerships that will transform the global energy landscape.

Environment + Sustainability

2050 target

Net zero commitment

Committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Focused on reducing emissions through advanced energy technologies.
Maximizing use of renewable energy sources and leveraging digital solutions for energy efficiency.
