Duke Energy Orders Up to 11 Gas Turbines in GE Vernova Deal
(P&GJ) — Duke Energy and GE Vernova have entered into a new arrangement to supply up to 11 7HA natural gas turbines and associated equipment to support rising energy demand driven by data center growth, advanced manufacturing, and population increases across Duke’s service areas.
The collaboration aligns with Duke Energy’s integrated resource plans and broader strategy to ensure reliable power delivery while controlling costs amid projected demand surges. The new turbines are in addition to eight previously secured 7HA units.
“As we continue to experience unprecedented growth in our service territories, securing the necessary materials to build critical infrastructure and meet the energy demand is integral to delivering value for our customers and other stakeholders,” said Harry Sideris, Duke Energy President and CEO. “We value our collaboration with forward-thinking partners who assist us in advancing our energy modernization strategy.”
The agreement builds on GE Vernova’s $600 million investment in U.S. manufacturing, including nearly $300 million for its Gas Power business. The Greenville, S.C., facility expansion will enable the company to meet increased turbine demand, create more than 1,500 jobs, and enhance lean manufacturing capabilities.
“This arrangement with Duke Energy and the significant expansion of our U.S. manufacturing facilities illustrate our ability and commitment to developing innovative solutions that our customers require to meet today and tomorrow’s energy demands,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “We are proud to be able to supply these Greenville, S.C.-manufactured gas turbines to a leading U.S. energy company and service to its consumers.”
Duke Energy plans to locate the turbines at existing facilities to capitalize on current infrastructure, including transmission systems, cutting costs and speeding deployment.
