American power business spun out of General Electric as one of three successor companies. Despite being America's largest wind-turbine manufacturer, it has a smaller installed base outside China than each of Europe's three biggest turbine-makers—Vestas, Siemens Gamesa and Nordex—according to BloombergNEF.
GE Vernova is enjoying massive demand for its gas turbines and electrical equipment as tech companies build data centres for artificial intelligence. Orders are growing about as fast as they did in 2000, at the height of the dotcom bubble. Together with GE Aerospace, the pair's combined annual net income of $14bn in 2025 was more than twice the cumulative profit managed by GE in the decade before its break-up. Add the much smaller health-care operation and GE's three heirs are worth $600bn, five times GE's value before the split was announced.
