What GE Vernova does

US energy-equipment maker selling gas/wind/hydro power turbines, grid equipment and electrification products.

Spun off from General Electric in April 2024, completing the break-up of GE into three companies. It sells turbines and grid equipment against long order backlogs, then earns from servicing those machines for decades. Gas power and grid carry the business; the wind unit has lost money.

Products and services

  • Gas power turbines and services
  • Wind turbines (onshore/offshore)
  • Grid equipment (transformers, switchgear)
  • Electrification and software

Customers

  • Utilities, independent power producers, grid opera

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials/energy equipment
  • Power generation and grid equipment
  • Turbine/grid equipment manufacturing…

What could go right

  • AI data-center gas-turbine order backlog
  • Grid-upgrade capex cycle

What could go wrong

  • Turbine and grid equipment supply-chain bottlenecks
  • Wind segment execution and losses

Moat: narrow (installed base, switching costs, scale). Huge installed base of gas turbines and grid gear generates long-tail parts and service revenue that's costly to switch away from.
