Highlights from Form 10

The Form 10 highlights how GE Vernova is:

• A purpose-built company driving electrification and decarbonization, well-positioned for multi-decade secular growth driven by the energy transition and serving 20% of a growing $1.4 trillion market; innovating technology and advancing global sustainability with more than 80,000 employees in over 100 countries and $1 billion in R&D investments in 2024.

• Strengthening profitability to deliver shareholder value; driving safety, quality, delivery, and cost using its lean operating model.

GE Vernova will be organized into three operating segments:

• Power: includes design, manufacture and servicing of gas, nuclear, hydro, and steam technologies, providing a critical foundation of dispatchable, flexible, stable, and reliable power;
• Wind: includes wind generation technologies, inclusive of onshore and offshore wind turbines and blades that serve utilities, renewable developers, independent power producers, and commercial customers to provide carbon-free power generation; and,
• Electrification: includes grid solutions, power conversion, solar and storage solutions, collectively referred to as Electrification Systems, and digital technologies, referred to as Electrification Software, required for the transmission, distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of generation to point of consumption.

Additional Information

GE Vernova is expected to spin off from GE in early April, subject to final approval from the GE Board of Directors and other customary conditions.
