GE Vernova: Riding the Combined-Cycle Power Plant Boom
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
GEV's Gas Power Equipment orders nearly tripled in Q2 2025, driving solid 12.3% revenue growth.
Global shift to lower-carbon power is boosting demand for GEV's combined-cycle technologies.
GEV advanced projects in Taiwan and the UK, highlighting strong global order momentum.
Soaring demand for electricity worldwide, backed by steadily growing data centers, industrial expansion, as well as significant population growth in emerging nations, has been fueling the rise of combined cycle power plants (CCPPs) of late. This trend offers strong growth prospects for GE Vernova Inc. ((GEV - Free Report) ), which provides a variety of products, ranging from heat exchangers to gas turbines, for the smooth operation of CCPPs.
As industries across the board rapidly transition toward a carbon-neutral environment, we are witnessing steady growth in CCPPs globally due to their superior efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and operational flexibility compared to traditional fossil fuel power plants.
In this evolving landscape, GE Vernova, as a key clean-energy technology leader, is collaborating with customers across the globe to enable a meaningful reduction in emissions from power generation. As a result, GEV is witnessing solid order growth for its combined-cycle technologies worldwide.
Notably, orders for the company’s Gas Power equipment nearly tripled year over year in the second quarter of 2025, which translated into solid 12.3% revenue growth for its Gas Power business segment.
Looking ahead, as CCPPs continue to be integral to the global energy mix, especially as they facilitate the integration of intermittent renewable sources into the existing grid, GE Vernova’s combined-cycle technologies should continue to witness strong order traction and thereby boost its operational results.
Evidently, in July 2025, the company declared that the first of three blocks of Taiwan Power Company Nan Bu Construction Organization’s Hsinta power plant, powered by GE Vernova 7HA.03 combined cycle equipment, has started to operate. Earlier in June, GEV signed a contractual service agreement to upgrade three GT26 gas turbine units, powering Uniper’s Grain power station in Kent, UK, with GT26 High Efficiency (HE) turbines.
Other Stocks Riding the CCPP Boom
GEV apart, other stocks that are benefiting from the rapidly growing number of CCPPs worldwide are mentioned below:
Siemens Energy ((SMNEY - Free Report) ): The company offers a large portfolio of???gas and steam turbines that power CCPPs, helping them achieve efficiencies in excess of 64%. Siemens Energy’s CCPPs are engineered for high efficiency and cost-effective electricity generation, catering to both 50Hz and 60Hz markets.
Baker Hughes ((BKR - Free Report) ): This company offers solutions for monitoring machinery, reducing fuel costs and minimizing unplanned outages in CCPPs. In March 2025, BKR secured an award for its NovaLT gas turbine technology from TURBINE-X Energy Inc., which is a supplier of industrial gas turbine packages in combined cycle configurations for U.S. data center project developers and power producers.
The Zacks Rundown for GEV
