Company News
GE Vernova has secured an additional $6 million in state funding for its $96 million Advanced Research Center on Balltown Road in Niskayuna, New York. The grant, awarded through the FAST NY programme, will fund water supply, road and stormwater management upgrades at the campus, offsetting roughly half of the $12 million in required infrastructure improvements. The company previously received $9.6 million in state tax credits linked to plans for creating 75 new jobs at the research centre, along with low-cost hydropower allocation. The site, separate from GE Vernova's existing River Road labs, will house energy technology research including a direct air capture carbon system currently under testing. GE Vernova earned nearly $5 billion in 2025 on $38 billion in revenue, with a market value of $242 billion.
ThinkLabs has raised $28 million USD ($39 million CAD) in a Series A round led by Energy Impact Partners to help power grids manage surging demand from AI data centres. Nvidia's venture fund NVentures and Edison International participated, alongside returning investors including GE Vernova. The Canadian-led, New York-based startup provides physics-informed AI software that creates digital twins of power grids, simulating scenarios to help operators maintain reliability and reduce outages. The platform reduces what would typically be a six-month, quarter-million-dollar study to under a day's analysis. Founded by former Toronto Hydro smart-grid department head Josh Wong, ThinkLabs spun out of GE Vernova in early 2024 with $6.8 million CAD in seed funding. The company will use the new capital to mature its product and expand features whilst focusing on the North American market.
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi have unveiled a US-Japan energy investment plan potentially worth $40 billion, centring on small modular nuclear reactors. GE Vernova and Hitachi will develop BWRX-300 reactors in Tennessee and Alabama, whilst Japan will invest up to $33 billion in natural gas plants in Pennsylvania and Texas. The initiative forms part of a broader $550 billion bilateral investment fund agreed under a recent trade pact. It aims to address rising electricity demand from data centres and artificial intelligence infrastructure. However, most SMR designs await regulatory approval and none have been deployed on US grids. The agreement also covers critical minerals and industrial supply chains, with Japanese firms contributing components and participating in rare-earth projects across Indiana, Arizona and North Carolina.
GE Vernova shares have risen 14.8% over the past three months, outperforming its Zacks Alternate Energy – Other industry's 4.1% growth. The company is benefiting from surging electricity demand driven by AI data centre expansion, creating strong opportunities for its turbines and grid equipment. GE Vernova is improving profitability in its wind segment through cost controls and portfolio optimisation, whilst its gas power and power services businesses continue strong performance. In March 2026, the company secured a contract for a 100-megawatt wind farm in Italy, supplying 17 turbines plus maintenance support. The company is expanding its Italian manufacturing facility to boost production of transformer components and advancing its BWRX-300 small modular reactor project in Poland, strengthening its position in the nuclear power market.
BlackRock is advising investors to focus on AI energy stocks rather than big tech companies in 2026, as AI data centres drive a surge in power demand. Deloitte anticipates a 30-fold increase in US AI data centre power consumption between 2024 and 2035. Three promising investments include Bloom Energy, which provides hydrogen fuel cell solutions for onsite electricity generation. The company reported $778 million in revenue last quarter, up 36% year over year, with analysts expecting accelerated growth. Constellation Energy, America's leading nuclear power provider, is restarting a Three Mile Island reactor to supply Microsoft's AI data centre. The company generates over two-thirds of its electricity through nuclear power. GE Vernova, General Electric's power production spinoff, reported orders up 34% to $59.3 billion, with a $150 billion backlog.
