GE Vernova has announced the expansion of its Electrification facility in Berlin, Germany, with the opening of a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) competence centre. The centre will develop technology to accelerate the energy transition by improving grid stability and integrating more renewable energy across Germany and Europe while also supporting HVDC projects worldwide.
The HVDC centre will focus on developing and testing technology to enable the efficient transmission of bulk power over long distances or from offshore submarine links. It will also simplify the integration of renewable energy into power grids and connect multiple HVDC transmission links.
As part of its growth plans in Germany, GE Vernova expects to create around 500 new highly skilled jobs for engineers, project managers, and other support staff in Berlin from 2023 to the end of 2025. New job opportunities are planned to open each quarter, with 60 jobs posted currently and more than 200 to come.
