- Highlights $4 MM Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) ATLANTIS project during ARPA-E’s Virtual Innovation Summit
- Project involves the design and development of optimized controls that could enable future offshore turbines 35% lower in mass compared to current designs for floating offshore turbines
- Floating Turbines would open up possibility for offshore installations at depths beyond >60m
- Would dramatically expand potential of US offshore wind

100 Percent Inspiration: GE Vernova’s World-Changing Legacy of Innovation
With GE Vernova standing at the threshold of becoming a new purpose-built, energy-focused company in a few short weeks, it’s worth noting the inspiration for its name. It is, says the company, “a combination of ver, derived from verde and verdant to signal the greens and blues of the Earth, and nova, from the Latin novus, or ‘new.’” Novus also happens to be one of the roots of the word “innovation,” a pillar of GE from its founding. Innovation, then, is literally in the company’s DNA.

All the Pretty Workhorses: Giant Wind Farm Comes to New Mexico, Featuring GE Vernova’s 3.6-154 Turbines
Getting renewable electricity to big population centers is a growing challenge in the United States, but in the high desert of central New Mexico a plan is coming together. There, near the tiny town of Corona, GE Vernova will deploy 674 of its new “workhorse” 3.6-154 wind turbines* for the SunZia project and its developer, Pattern Energy. When completed in 2026, this colossus of a project will weigh in at a total 3,500 MW, making it the largest wind farm — and in fact the largest renewables project — in the Western Hemisphere, providing enough power for some 3 million people.

Designers Turn Recyclable Blade Tips Into Works of Art at GE Vernova’s COP28 Exhibit
At the COP28 climate conference, now taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), GE Vernova reached out to eight artists from countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America through a collaboration with the creative services organization Neol, asking them to use an unexpected canvas to create a “Wonders of Wind” exhibit as part of the Blue Zone, located in Expo City Dubai.
Sharp Focus: GE’s New Sustainability Report Underscores Its Mission to Make the World More Energy-Efficient
Over the next 60 seconds, GE’s energy technology, from gas and wind turbines to hydroelectric, will generate enough electricity to supply millions of households for an hour. In that same time, around 30 aircraft equipped with jet engine technology made by GE or one of its partners will take to the skies — one every two seconds.

Career Spin: Why a Carpenter and a Charter Boat Captain Are Servicing GE Wind Turbines Off Martha’s Vineyard
Patrick Cassidy was working as a carpenter when he saw the newspaper notice about job opportunities at Vineyard Wind in the summer of 2019. The country’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm was being built 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, the island he’d called home since 1995, and he was curious. He enjoyed his work, and he was good at it, but he liked the idea of a more regular paycheck — and maybe even paid time off.

Catching More Wind: GE’s 3D-Printed Concrete Wind Turbine Towers Could Lead To More Efficient Wind Farms
The power industry around the world is going through a fundamental transition to renewable energy. This shift requires a lot of innovation, and few companies are better equipped to help than GE. Just look inside a cavernous warehouse near Rochester, New York. The revolution happening there is not being televised yet. It’s being printed.
