Thu, 27 Aug 2026 06:03:54 -0400

GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) has been selected by Laing O'Rourke to deliver a 400 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation in Chesterfield, England, as part of National Grid's Brinsworth to Chesterfield and Chesterfield to High Marnham projects.

The substation is part of the Great Grid Upgrade, a large-scale overhaul of the electricity grid across England and Wales. The work falls within broader network upgrades spanning Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.

GE Vernova's scope includes design engineering, procurement, equipment delivery, site installation, testing, commissioning, protection and control systems, interface management, integration with the existing transmission network, and decommissioning of existing equipment.

GE Vernova launches SF₆-free 420 kV circuit breaker at CIGRE Paris

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 06:05:11 -0400

GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) announced the launch of its GL316c, a 420 kV, 63 kA Live Tank Circuit Breaker that uses a carbon dioxide and oxygen (CO₂/O₂) gas mixture instead of sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), at CIGRE Paris 2026.

The GL316c is designed for high-voltage transmission network applications. The CO₂/O₂ mixture serves as an alternative to SF₆, a fluorinated gas commonly used in high-voltage electrical equipment. The new breaker is rated for 420 kV with a short-circuit breaking capability of up to 63 kA.

GE Vernova unveils medium-voltage power supply for data centers

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 06:11:54 -0400

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) has announced a new medium-voltage uninterruptible power supply (MV-UPS) aimed at data centers, AI facilities, and other energy-intensive operations, according to a company statement.

The MV-UPS is designed to provide power protection at the medium-voltage level, rather than the low-voltage stage where such protection is typically applied today. By positioning the system between a facility's power supply and its critical loads, GE Vernova says the solution allows a single coordinated system to protect larger portions of a facility while reducing the impact of sudden demand changes on the grid or onsite generation sources.
