GE Vernova unveils power transmission hub

GE Vernova has opened a new centre of excellence for power transmission digital services, located in Casablanca, Morocco

 

Operational immediately, it is designed to help the company’s service teams support customers operating power transmission equipment worldwide.

 

Casablanca was chosen for its growing pool of digital engineering talent, the company said in a statement.

 

Power transmission is part of GE Vernova's electrification segment, providing the transformers, switchgear and related technologies that move electricity across power networks.

 

Its digital services division helps teams use equipment data to catch issues earlier, plan maintenance and respond faster.

 

“Global electricity demand is growing, and power transmission services are increasingly important to help keep electricity reliable and available,” said Eric Chaussin, CEO and vice president of GE Vernova’s power transmission business.

 

“This centre of excellence strengthens our digital services capability and reflects our confidence in Morocco's local talent. By connecting this expertise with GE Vernova's global power transmission experience, we aim to deliver faster, more consistent and more data-driven service to customers.”

 

The centre is also expected to support training and knowledge sharing through its Technical Institute of Casablanca (TIC), an internal GE Vernova training facility located in the same premises.

 

This will support hands-on training, commissioning practices and knowledge transfer related to digital solutions.

 

This announcement builds on GE Vernova’s work with customers across Africa to support more reliable and efficient electricity systems.

 

In recent years, the company has supported grid and power infrastructure projects across the continent, including electricity transmission and control centre projects in Kenya, grid equipment and automation work in Algeria, regional grid software support for the West African Power Pool and power plant services in South Africa.
