ATLANTA, GA (March 31, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced its next generation of mobile aeroderivative gas turbines, “power plants on wheels” delivering

reliable and efficient power anywhere, whether on or off the grid. The new TM2500* Dry Low Emissions (DLE) is GE Vernova’s waterless, mobile 34MW power plant that offers higher-efficiency performance, up to 39 percent efficiency, with reduced NOx emissions and waste.

The mobile power solutions trend is being driven by a variety of factors. The global energy access gap worsens as population growth outpaces new connections: 76 million people are living without electricity access. The vast majority of that growth will happen in areas where the power grid is either very weak or does not exist at all. Another major driver is the need for emergency power for utilities, municipalities, datacenters and other industries. These industries rely on a stable power supply to grow and evolve. Finally, in an increasing number of countries, utilities are investing in rapid, highly mobile technology that can quickly bridge the power gap during blackouts, energy shortages or even natural disasters.

“The development of a decentralized energy network, where electricity is generated close to, or at, the point of use, also drives efficiency by reducing or eliminating energy losses from transmission and distribution, thus delivering both economic and environmental benefits.

With this new solution we are committed to offering customers across the world greater fuel and operational flexibility, coupled with increased sustainability,” said Відкрити у новому вікніClive Nickolay, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Aeroderivative business line. “The TM2500 DLE offers the same reliability of earlier models, but it is the first to operate without water and without any aftertreatment in emissions, as it produces lower nitric oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions –compared to the previous mobile solutions and almost no methane slip.

The modular TM2500 DLE’s is more compact and easier to ship. It is on a two-trailer frame that offers on-site flexibility and boasts a 30-day lead time from contract to commissioning. Once installed, the TM2500 DLE has a five-minute fast start cycle, ideal for rapid response to sudden changes in power demand or grid stability. The unit’s mobility and speedy start up cycle allow the unit to meet a variety of needs in multiple locations – well-suited to grid-firming, construction, or the sudden shifting demands of emergency and natural disaster response.

GE Vernova’s TM2500 DLE builds on the proven reliability of earlier generations of mobile gas turbines which have been proving their versatility and reliability for 140 million accumulated hours of operation. The unit is fuel flexible, running on gas, liquid fuel, or hydrogen blend, to help operators to generate reliable power, despite possible fuel supply challenges or fluctuating costs.

ATLANTA, GA  (March 28, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that it secured an order from the municipal utility of Springfield City Utilities, Missouri (CU) for three units of its innovative LM6000VELOX* aeroderivative gas turbine packages aiming to expand electric generation capacity at CU’s 100 Megawatt (MW) McCartney Generating Station, located in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri.

Increasing electricity demand, aging power generation units, and extreme weather events have led to increases in the amount of CU’s required for power generation capacity, known as a Planning Reserve Margin (PRM). A PRM is the power capacity required beyond projected demand to ensure reliability during peak usage or unexpected outages. By 2026, CU will be required to maintain a PRM of 36% during winter months, a significant increase from the current 15%. This means CU must have 36% more power generation capacity than what is required to serve Springfield’s electric load to help mitigate unexpected disruptions.

The three GE Vernova aeroderivative units are expected to inject an additional 150 MW of reliable and flexible capacity with the new aeroderivative gas turbine packages to help ensure grid stability with high efficiency. Once online, the aeroderivative gas turbines are expected to become CU’s most efficient generators with the capability to burn two types of fuel (natural gas with a fuel oil/diesel as a backup) in case of emergency events. The plant is estimated to start operations in 2027.

“This investment is another step in ensuring Springfield’s energy reliability for the future,” said Warren Brooks, V.P. of Electric Operations at City Utilities. “We trust GE Vernova’s units will help us quickly meet demand during peak energy usage. This project is aligned to our broader strategy to address future power supply needs through affordable, reliable, and innovative solutions.”

GE Vernova’s LM6000VELOX packages are developed using proven LM6000* aeroderivative gas turbine technology which is well-known in the power generation industry for its quick start time and ramp-up to full power in as little as 5 minutes, high cycle life helping to complement intermittent power from renewable sources, and operational flexibility.

The LM6000VELOX package was developed to reduce the installation and commissioning schedule of LM6000* aeroderivative gas turbines by up to 40% and save up to 4,000 labor hours.

“With increasing power generation demand driven by growing electrification needs and more renewables coming online every day, operators and municipalities, like City Utilities, need to ensure grid reliability with high efficiency, while delivering cheaper and faster power for their end users” said Dave Ross , CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Americas region. “We are excited to work with City Utilities to contribute to the expansion of their McCartney Power Generation Station with our highly efficient, reliable, fast and flexible technology.”

LM6000 gas turbines are part of an installed base of nearly 1.200 units across approximately 60 countries. In a Singular Annular Combustor (SAC) configuration, these units have the capability to burn up to 100% hydrogen by volume, thereby reducing CO2 emissions from power delivered by a gas turbine.
