GE Vernova is increasing the capital investment program at its Schenectady, N.Y., plant by $41 million to increase manufacturing capacity for H65 and H84 generators, which are designed to accompany HA gas turbines in large-scale power generation, such as combined-cycle and simple cycle power plants.
The new investment is expected to result in 50 new hires at Schenectady, according to GE Vernova – the General Electric spinoff that manufactures industrial and alternative energy systems.
The New York plant is among multiple GE Vernova locations that are being improved and expanded to address growing industrial demand for electric power generation.
The new investment adds to more than $130 million in investments GE Vernova has announced for in Schenectady since 2023, including $50 million in 2023 for an onshore wind turbine manufacturing line, and $80 million announced this year for gas power and onshore wind turbine manufacturing.
“We are committed to meeting the needs of our customers and the world as demand for electricity continues to rise at historic rates,” stated CEO Scott Strazik. “This investment in our Schenectady facility continues our work to build gas power capacity and help meet global energy needs.”
