With nearly 55,000 wind turbines and 7,000 gas turbines, GE Vernova's technology base helps generate about 25% of the world's electricity. It is one of the founding members of the Corporate Coalition for Innovation & Technology toward Net Zero. In June 2024, the company secured its single largest order for 7HA.03 gas turbines in the Middle East and Africa, supplying six units and two 7E.03 gas turbines for Saudi Arabia's Taiba 1 and Qassim 1 power plants, with a 21-year service agreement. A month later, it secured a contract to supply grid equipment for 134 substations in Algeria by 2028, aiming to support the country’s energy transition.
