Precious Power: As Poland Deploys New Offshore Wind, GE Vernova Is Helping It Reach Homes and Businesses
Poland, which has long been dependent on coal power, is turning to the Baltic Sea to clean up its grid and join the energy revolution. The country’s north coast is deliciously rich in wind resources, and a joint venture between the PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna and Ørsted have awarded a consortium made up of GE Vernova and Polimex Mostostal a contract to help build a new offshore wind farm there using the latest transmission and grid automation technologies.

Coal To Gas: How GE Is Helping Poland Advance Its Energy Strategy To Cut Carbon And Promote Renewables
Four years ago, Polish authorities were planning to construct what was to be possibly the last large coal-fired power plant in Europe. Workers had already laid the foundations and cooling towers, and coal boilers were selected for the 1,000-megawatt (MW) project in Ostroleka, a small city northeast of Warsaw.

New Power Generation: GE Hitachi, Partners Aim To Help Canada Become A Global Hub For New Nuclear Tech
Canada, like many industrialized countries, has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. But what makes Canada unique is how it wants to achieve that goal. Like others, it has been boosting renewables. But it also plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular reactors, or SMRs, which can be deployed faster than conventional ones and at a lower cost per unit of output. The province of Ontario is already in the process of selecting a company to build an SMR there and bring it online by 2028. It would be the first such facility in the world.
