GE Vernova has announced that it has won an order from Sonelgaz through its joint venture GE Algeria Turbines (GEAT) to enhance Algeria’s grid infrastructure.

The order involves GE Vernova supplying GEAT with HV equipment, components, and grid automation solutions for 134 substations by 2028. GEAT will integrate this equipment at its Ain Yagout facility in Batna, Algeria for Sonelgaz projects. The supplied equipment will help integrate renewable energy sources and ensure a reliable power supply for Algeria’s growing population and economy.

Mourad Adjal, CEO of Sonelgaz Group, said: “This order is the result of the expansion of existing capabilities between Sonelgaz and GE Vernova to enable the deployment of grid solutions and the production of high and extra-high voltage substation equipment to implement Algeria’s electricity transmission network development plan.”
