GE Vernova: Leading a New Era of Energy
Addressing the climate crisis is an urgent global priority. If we want our energy future to be different ... we must be different. That is our singular mission.

GE, the 130-year-old energy pioneer. Our unwavering commitment to powering the planet, now fully focused on the energy transition. No company has the unique combination to pioneer what's next - just as we have before. As we answer the call with renewed purpose and vigor, we are moving our GE energy businesses-including Renewables, Power, Digital and Energy Financial Services - under one banner to deliver a united, focused, one-of-a-kind force: GE Vernova. Together, with our customers and partners, we will chart the course to a better future.

Our mission is embedded in our new name. We retain our treasured birthright, "GE," in our name as an enduring and hard-earned badge of quality and ingenuity. "Ver," "verde," "verdant," all signal Earth's verdant and lush ecosystems. "Nova," from the Latin "novus," nods to a new, innovative era of lower carbon energy that GE Vernova will help deliver.

Our new name sounds different, because it is. GE Vernova will act swiftly and surely to help build a cleaner, better future. This is not business as usual: this is business purpose-built to lead the new era of energy.
