GE Vernova, a leading global energy company, has announced plans to add 250 new jobs at its Charleroi, PA, factory over the next two years, as part of a broader $100 million investment in Pennsylvania. This expansion aims to meet the surging demand for high voltage switchgear products, essential for the stable and reliable operation of the nation’s electrical grids. The investment underscores GE Vernova’s commitment to modernizing the grid, strengthening domestic supply chains, and enhancing national security.

The Charleroi factory expansion is a component of GE Vernova’s $600 million multi-year investment announced earlier this year, expected to create 1,500 new jobs across various U.S. facilities. Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova, emphasized the importance of grid infrastructure in powering America’s economy and reindustrializing Pennsylvania’s manufacturing sector. The initiative not only aims to close a crucial gap in the domestic supply chain but also to improve the country’s global competitiveness.

In addition to the Charleroi expansion, GE Vernova has secured an order to supply seven high-efficiency 7HA.02 natural gas turbines to the Homer City Energy Campus. This project, transforming a former coal plant into a natural gas-powered data center campus, is set to provide 4.4GW of electricity by 2027. It represents a strategic move to support the growing needs of AI and high-performance computing, further positioning Pennsylvania as a leader in the next era of digital innovation.

The $100 million investment in Pennsylvania is part of GE Vernova’s larger $9 billion global capex and R&D investment plan through 2028. With technology that generates more than half of the U.S.’s power and a workforce of over 18,000 across 50 states, GE Vernova is at the forefront of the energy transition, aiming to deliver a more affordable, reliable, sustainable, and secure energy future.
