GE Vernova's Hydro Power business designs, develops, manufactures, and services advanced technologies that harness the power of water to deliver reliable and sustainable power. For more than a century, hydropower has played an essential role in the North American and global electricity systems. Today, hydropower is the world's largest source of renewable energy, and its pumped storage technology is the world's largest source of energy storage. But to reach net-zero globally by 2050, we need to double the amount of hydro currently installed. Whether it's through pumped storage, run-of-river, or by upgrading the existing installed base, hydropower will continue to be a cornerstone of North America's energy future.
