SUSTAINABILITY. As a company whose technology base helps generate approximately 25% of the world’s electricity, our integration of

sustainability into our core business strategy and culture reflects our strategic imperative to electrify and decarbonize the world and to play

a crucial role in the energy transition. Our sustainability framework is guided by our commitment to help the energy sector address the

energy trilemma of reliability, affordability, and sustainability.

To operationalize this commitment, we have built the sustainability governance framework of “the Control Room.” The Control Room is led

by our Chief Sustainability Officer, who supervises a cross-functional, global team, and chairs our Sustainability Council. Further, we have a

Safety and Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors, which guides and oversees our sustainability goals, impacts, risks, and

efforts. Our operational efforts are aligned with our business strategy, the priorities of our stakeholders, our commitments, and our aim to

deliver innovative technologies to create a more sustainable electric power system.

The four pillars of our sustainability framework: Electrify, Decarbonize, Conserve, and Thrive:

•Electrify: Catalyze access to more secure, sustainable, reliable, and affordable electricity, while helping to drive global

economic development. We seek to add power generation and grid capacity to strengthen current electricity infrastructure and

provide critical redundancy, support electrification in underserved regions, and encourage economic development.

•Decarbonize: Invent, deploy, and service technology to help decarbonize and electrify the world. We seek to advance both

the near-term impact by improving the trajectory on carbon intensity and the long-term impact by deploying products that are

increasingly capable of lower carbon emissions once supporting infrastructure is deployed at scale.

•Conserve: Innovate more while using less. We are working to reduce both our direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions

and have set a goal to achieve carbon neutrality for our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030. We also support the transition

to a more circular economy and recognize the importance of critical raw materials and nature in our mission. We are working to

track 90% of our top products as part of our circularity framework by 2030, including principles such as eco-design.

•Thrive: Advance safe, responsible, and inclusive working conditions in our operations and across our value chain. We

are committed to prioritizing safety, building and fostering an inclusive workplace globally and in the communities in which we

operate, promoting a culture of compliance and ethics, and advancing human rights across our supply chain.

The global shift towards a variety of energy sources, evolving and increased environmental regulations and requirements, and climate

change effects, present both challenges and opportunities that may impact our business. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for further information

about these risks.

COMPETITION. We believe GE Vernova's businesses' ability to supply the electric power industry with a broad array of advanced

technologies for an intelligent, sustainable power system that help customers accelerate the energy transition is a key differentiator among

various of our competitors. Due to increasing demand exceeding available capacity for products and services that supply the electrical

power industry, we face growing competition from emerging threats. The continuing ability to reduce cycle times and ensure available

capacity is expected to allow us to remain competitive as demand for our products and services grows significantly. In addition, continued

investment in our products and services and emerging technologies is necessary for us to successfully compete and deliver economic

value and performance to our customers through efficiency, reliability, and affordability.

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete based on product performance, quality, branding, service and/or price

across the industries and geographies served. Various companies compete with us across single or multiple products and services.

Key Power segment competitors include Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, Westinghouse, Framatome, and Rolls-Royce.

Key Wind segment competitors include Vestas, Siemens-Gamesa, and Nordex.

Key Electrification segment competitors include Hitachi Energy, Siemens Energy, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and

ABB.

SEGMENTS. We report three business segments that are aligned with the nature of equipment and services they provide, specifically

Power, Wind, and Electrification.

Power. Our Power segment serves power generation, industrial, government, and other customers worldwide with products and services

related to energy production. Our products and technologies harness resources such asnatural gas, oil, diesel, water, and nuclear to

produce electric power and include gas and steam turbines, full balance of plant, upgrade, and service solutions.

Gas Power -offers a wide spectrum of heavy-duty and aeroderivative gas turbines for utilities, independent power producers, and

numerous industrial applications, ranging from small, mobile power to utility scale power plants. Gas Power also delivers maintenance and

service solutions across total plant assets and over their operational lifecycle.

Nuclear Power - provides nuclear technology solutions for boiling water reactors including reactor design, reactor fuel and support services,

and the design and development of small modular reactors through joint ventures with Hitachi, Ltd.

Hydro Power -provides a portfolio of solutions and services for hydropower generation for both large hydropower plants and small

hydropower solutions.

Steam Power -offers a comprehensive range of steam turbine technologies and services primarily for nuclear power plants in North

America and coal-fired power plants, helping our customers deliver reliable energy, and supporting coal-fired plant customers transitioning

to a lower-carbon future.

We believe that gas power plays an essential role in the energy transition, serving as a fundamental source of reliable and dispatchable

power. Despite evolving market factors related to the energy transition, such as increased renewable energy penetration and new climate

change-related legislation and policies, we anticipate the gas power industry will grow over the next decade. We expect gas power

generation to increase at low-single digit rates, playing a critical role supporting load growth, maintaining grid stability, and energy security.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, GE Vernova's gas turbine installed base utilization was flat compared to the same period last

year. Growth in Asia from fewer outages and more HA units commissioned and higher utilization in the United States (U.S.) were offset by

Europe where increased nuclear, hydro, and renewable energy drove lower gas operations in the year. Global electricity demand increased

by low-single digits.

As of December 31, 2024, our fundamentals remained strong with approximately $73.4 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)

and a gas turbine installed base of approximately 7,000 units with approximately 1,700 units under long-term service agreementsand an

average remaining contract life of approximately 10 years. As of December 31, 2024, we had 32 HA-Turbines in RPO, 30 being installed

and commissioned, and 115 HA-Turbines in our installed base with approximately 2.9 million operating hours.

We maintain a strong focus on our underwriting discipline and risk management to secure deals that meet our financial hurdles and ensure

we deliver confidently for our customers. Operating in emerging markets presents uncertainties in deal closures due to financing and other

complexities. Given the long-cycle nature of our business and the ongoing challenges from inflationary pressures, our Power segment has

proactively implemented lean initiatives tosustain cost productivity, collaborated closely with suppliers, and adjusted product and service

pricing in line with market demand, inflation, and industry dynamics.

We continue to invest in new product development. In Nuclear Power, we have an agreement with a customer for the deployment of small

modular nuclear reactor (SMR) technology, making it the first commercial contract of its kind in North America. SMRs have the potential to

reduce nuclear power plant costs and cycle times through their standardized and modularized design. In Gas Power, we are committed to

long-term investments to meet ourgrowing demand from our customers by enhancing production capacity at existing factories to address

the increasing need for both equipment and services. We continue to invest in technologies and decarbonization pathways to deliver lower

carbon-emitting and more reliable power. In the fourth quarter, we secured an agreement in the United Kingdom for one of the world's first

commercial-scale gas-fired power stations with carbon capture, aiming to capture up to 2 million tons of CO 2 annually and contributing to

the United Kingdom's net-zero goals. We are committed to advancing decarbonization technologies that we believe will provide our

customers with options for more renewable and more dependable energy.

2024 FORM 10-K 6

Wind. Our Wind segment includes our wind generation technologies, inclusive of onshore and offshore wind turbines and blades. In our

Wind segment, we engineer, manufacture, and commercialize wind turbines, an important technology playing a role in the energy transition

as we seek to decarbonize theworld's energy sector.

Onshore Wind -delivers wind turbines, technology, and services for the onshore wind power industry by focusing on work-horse products in

select geographies, while continuing to innovate the technology to create wind turbines suitable for various markets and environmental

conditions. Our workhorse products include our 2.8-127m, 3.6-154m, and 6.1-158m onshore units. Wind services assist customers in

improving cost, capacity, and performance of their assets over the lifetime of their fleets, utilizing digital infrastructure to monitor, predict,

and optimize wind farm energy performance.

Offshore Wind - provides offshore wind power technologies and wind farm development for the offshore wind power sector. Our workhorse

product in the offshore market is our Haliade-X 220m offshore unit.

LM Wind Power - designs, produces, and tests wind turbine blades.

As we focus on providing carbon-free electricity reliably and at scale, we have simplified our segment management structure and portfolio

of product offerings, focusing on fewer and more reliable workhorse products. Our workhorse products account for approximately 70% of

our equipment RPO at December 31, 2024. Included in our RPO are services agreements on approximately 23,000 of our onshore wind

turbines, from an installed base of approximately 57,000 units.

At Onshore Wind, we are focused on improving our overall fleet availability. We are reducing product variants and deploying repairs and

other corrective measures across the fleet. Concurrently, we intend to operate in fewer geographies and focus on those geographic regions

that align better with our products and supply chain footprint, positioning our workhorse products to targeted countries. Our volume mix has

shifted towards the U.S., currently representing approximately 75% of Onshore Wind's equipment RPO, while our international volume has

become smaller and more profitable. Specifically in the U.S., the IRAintroduced new, and extended existing, tax incentives, significantly

improving project economics for our customers and turbine producers. Our projects in the U.S. generally benefit from incentives available to

our customers and broadly available IRA incentives. We will continue to monitor government actions for any changes that could adversely

impact the market for wind turbine manufacturers. Finally, we are continuing our restructuring program to reduce our operating costs and

are seeing the benefits both operationally and financially.

At Offshore Wind, we continue to experience pressure related to our product and project costs and execution timelines, as we deliver on

our existing backlog. We are committed to driving quality improvements, installation efficiencies, and cost productivity. Similar to Onshore

Wind, we have embarked on a restructuring program to reduce our operating costs.

Electrification. Our Electrification segment includes grid solutions, power conversion, solar and storage solutions, which we collectively

refer to as Electrification Systems, and Electrification Software, that provide products and services required for the transmission,

distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of generation to point of consumption. Several of the key

offerings in this segment, for example, include our high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) products, power transformers,

switchgear, and our grid automation related products and services.

Grid Solutions- enables power utilities and industries worldwide to effectively manage electricity from the point of generation to

consumption, helping the reliability, efficiency, and resiliency of the grid. Offerings include a comprehensive portfolio of equipment,

hardware, protection and control, automation, and digital services. Grid Solutions also addresses the challenges of the energy transition by

safely and reliably connecting intermittent renewable energy generation to transmission networks.

Power Conversion- applies the science and systems of power conversion to provide motors, generators, automation, and control

equipment, and drives for energy intensive industries such as marine, oil and gas, mining, rail, metals, and test systems.

Solar & Storage Solutions - provides integration of renewable energies that drive stability to the grid and integrates storage and renewable

energy generation sources.

Electrification Software - supports the transmission, distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of

generation to point of consumption.

We continue to experience robust demandfor our systems, equipment, and services. Demand remains strong for large scale transmission-

related equipment to interconnect renewables and move bulk power. We also continue to benefit from higher growth in orders from other

transmission activities within our Grid Solutions business.

Our Grid Solutions business is positioned to support grid expansion and modernization needs globally. We participate in the onshore

interconnection sector and the rapidly growing offshore interconnection sector with new products and technology. We have developed and

seek to continue developing new technologies with the intention of solving for a denser, more resilient, stable, and efficient electric grid with

lower future greenhouse gas emissions.

Weadjust pricing and contractual terms of our products and services based on demand, inflation, and industry dynamics. Customer lead-

times have increased as a result of demand outstripping supply, though we are proactively managing this by deploying lean initiatives to

reduce lead-times and drive cost productivity. In addition, we are making investments to expand our capacity and capabilities to support this

continued growth while benefiting from synergies across our Electrification businesses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. GE Vernova’s R&D efforts focus on driving the energy transition. We are engineering the

technologies, forging the partnerships, and delivering innovations to electrify and decarbonize the world. We expect to invest approximately

$5 billion of cumulative R&D from 2025 through 2028 across our businesses. Approximately half of this R&D is focused on continuously

2024 FORM 10-K 7

industrializing existing products and supporting our installed base for this decade. The other half is focused on long-term innovation to

deliver our next generation of differentiated products.

R&D is performed within each of our businesses, and at multiple locations around the world, including at our research facilities in

Niskayuna, New York and Bangalore, India, which we refer to collectively as Advanced Research. Advanced Research partners with our

businesses on programs to create the technology breakthroughs that will feed our future product roadmaps. They are guided by our

customers’ demands for sustainable, affordable, resilient, and secure energy. Additionally, Advanced Research partners with other

established and start-up companies and educational institutions to incubate and commercialize new technology and launch new

businesses in markets that are key to the energy transition but go beyond GE Vernova’s core businesses.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. We have a substantial portfolio of intellectual property (IP) assets, registered and unregistered, that

protect both our investments in R&D across our businesses as well as our products and services. To protect our innovation, we rely on a

variety of IP rights and data protection measures, as well as monitor the activities of third parties to ensure that unauthorized use of IP does

not go unremedied.

Patents are an important part of our IP strategy. They protect our inventions around the world. We shape and reposition our patent portfolio

to cover emerging and other technologies that drive our core businesses. Software, which is important to all of our businesses, but is

especially central to the IP position of the Electrification businesses, is protected by a combination of copyrights, patents, and contractual

protections.

We protect our trade secrets and confidential know-how by actively enforcing our internal policies for data classification and protection and

by requiring and enforcing specific innovation and proprietary information agreements andnon-disclosure agreements. We also utilize

contemporary cybersecurity tools and systems, as well as physical security measures, that safeguard our most valuable data from insider

threats and third-party concentrated efforts to misappropriate our IP. See Item 1C. "Cybersecurity" for further information.

While our patents and other IP protections are important to our operations, we do not consider any single IP asset or group of assets to be

of material significance to any of our financial segments or our businesses as a whole. However, we believe that we derive a sustained

competitive advantage both from our IP portfolio as well as technical know-how embedded in our products and manufacturing techniques

developed over decades. We further believe that our understanding of our customers’ needs, technology expertise, and manufacturing

know-how are critical to our business.

In addition to our IP portfolio, we have a license to use certain IP from GE Aerospace, including the GE name and the GE Monogram. The

license applies to our products and services, as well as to natural extensions and evolutions thereof. See “Certain Relationships and

Related Person Transactions—Agreements with GE—Agreements Governing Intellectual Property” in our information statement dated

March 8, 2024, which was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on March 8, 2024 (the

Information Statement).

GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN. Annually, we purchase approximately $20 billion in materials and components sourced from over 100

countries. We face various supply chain challenges, many of which are industry-wide or arise from geopolitical and economic conditions

beyond our control. These include global conflicts, global economic trends, geopolitical dynamics like sanctions, tariffs and other trade

tensions, inflation, logistics issues, human rights landscape shifts, and regulatory changes. Additionally, potential disruptions such as

natural disasters and other extreme weather conditions, global pandemics, and cyber-attacks could significantly impact our operations,

financial performance, and ability to meet customer commitments.

To address these challenges, we maintain strong supplier relationships and prioritize opportunities to localize our supply chain to serve our

distinct geographies, while at the same time allowing us to maintain a globally diverse supply chain for operational resiliency. Our risk-

based supplier onboarding process involves thorough due diligence, focusing on performance, labor standards, ethical sourcing, and

human rights, supported by an audit program. We are expanding these efforts to consider environmental impact and environmental, social

and governance (ESG) regulations, along with alignment to our GE Vernova sustainability framework.

Internally, we manage risks through cyber mitigation, business continuity planning, and crisis management. We have developed cross-

business councils for supply chain and procurement to proactively share best practices around supply chain resiliency. We are also

enhancing our risk management tools to leverage technology for better market trend analysis and risk mitigation concerning commodity

pricing, availability, lead-times, country specific tariff impacts, and ESG compliance. Specifically, to minimize inflationary impacts, we have a

sourcing process to monitor commodity price fluctuations across the ferrous, non-ferrous, precious metals, and energy commodities. We

continue to employ and evolve lean practices across our operations to enhance safety, quality, and delivery performance, building new

capabilities to scale our supply chain aligned to our business growth.

HUMAN CAPITAL. GE Vernova is a global workforce of approximately 75,000 employees, with approximately 70% of our employees

specializing in manufacturing, engineering, or services. In addition, we have approximately 1,800 employees in Quality or environmental,

health, and safety (EHS) roles, critical disciplines for our success as a company. Our culture enables us to deliver on our purpose and drive

2024 FORM 10-K 8

As we strive to live the GE Vernova Way, we create a more respectful, inclusive culture where we can each contribute to meaningful work.

Additional human capital priorities include:

•Protecting the health and safety of our workforce and contractors.

•Driving continuous improvement and eliminating waste through lean.

•Operating as one GE Vernova.

•Driving sustainable high performance.

•Attracting and developing talent with the variety of skills to innovate and grow our business; fostering an inclusive culture.

We trace our beginnings to the Edison General Electric Company, a manufacturer of electric lighting fixtures, sockets, and other electric

lighting devices. We carry forward that legacy today as a developer, manufacturer, and service provider of power generating and

decarbonizing solutions. GE Vernova’s portfolio also includes Advanced Research with hundreds of technologists and cross-discipline

experts focused on enabling ground-breaking innovations destined to shape the energy transition.

Our footprint is truly global with approximately 24,000 employees in Europe, 19,000 employees in the U.S., 18,000 employees in Asia, and

7,000 employees in Latin America. GE Vernova’s relationship with employee-representative organizations around the world takes many

forms.

•Within the U.S., we have approximately 1,300 union-represented production and maintenance employees who are covered by a

four-year collective bargaining agreement that was ratified for a two-year extension in 2023 and expires in June of 2025.

•In Europe, we engage with approximately 100 representative organizations such as works councils and trade unions, in

accordance with local law. Social dialogue, including information, consultation, and negotiation, is a key component of doing

business in Europe and a driver of sustainable business growth for us in the region.

•In addition to the U.S. and Europe, we also engage with employee representative bodies in China (2,200 employees), India (2,000

employees), Canada (700 employees), Brazil (600 employees), and Mexico (150 employees).

We strive to build and maintain productive relationships with all trade unions and employee-representative organizations with which we

engage. More broadly, our relationship with every employee, regardless of functional discipline, geography or representation status, is a

priority. The purpose, passion, and expertise our employees embody every day is fundamental to providing essential electricity around the

world and for the future of our environment. It is our mission to inspire, engage, and develop our employees to their fullest potential.

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH, AND SAFETY MATTERS. GE Vernova is committed to providing and promoting a safe and healthy

working environment, using natural resources and energy in a sustainable way, and avoiding an adverse impact to employees and

contractors, our customers, theenvironment, and the communities where we do business. We support our customers by maintaining the

highest standards in safeguarding our employees, our contracting partners, and the environment.

In addition to our own internal enterprise standards and core requirements on various EHS topics, we are subject to international, national,

state, and local EHS laws, regulations, and industry and customer standards, including EHS licensing and authorization requirements.

These EHS laws apply to a broad range of activities across our whole product lifecycle and our entire global organization, including those

related to:

•protection of the environment and use of natural resources;

•occupational health and safety;

•the use, management, release, storage, transportation, remediation, and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances and

waste;

•our products, including the use of certain chemicals in our products and production processes;

•emissions to air and water; and

•climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.

EHS laws vary by jurisdiction and have become increasingly stringent over time. These requirements impose certain responsibilities on our

business, including the obligation to install pollution control technologies and obtain and maintain various environmental permits, the cost of

which may be substantial. Satisfying such local EHS requirements is often a minimum requirement for us, and we commit extensive

resources to maintaining our compliance with these requirements. For example, by applying our enterprise standards and core

requirements everywhere (except where local regulations are more stringent), we often go beyond local compliance requirements,

especially where local standards are weak or lacking. Safety is incorporated into our lean operating method and we prioritize safeguarding

our employees and contractors. We also enhance our internal enterprise standards and core requirements regularly through a culture of

continuous improvement and documenting opportunities to improve through internal and external audits.

Our EHS management system includes measures to verify that we are monitoring adherence to GE Vernova EHS standards and regulatory

requirements through audits and inspections. Operations are assessed on a regular basis as part of our management of change(MOC)

process to mitigate safety risks. EHS operational reviews at both the business and GE Vernova level address progress on program

execution as well as strategy discussions related to emerging EHS risks.

those governing antitrust and competition, as well as:

◦Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence. We are subject to rapidly evolving laws and regulations governing

cybersecurity and data privacy in many jurisdictions, including those imposed by federal and state regulators in the U.S.,

such as the Federal Trade Commission and state agencies, and the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe. As

artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging area, we expect to see increased legislation, such as the EU Artificial Intelligence

Act, and additional regulatory obligations across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

◦Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the United Kingdom (U.K.) Bribery Act of

2010, the Brazil Clean Companies Act, China’s Unfair Competition Law, India’s Prevention of Corruption Act, and similar

anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from

making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.

•Employer. As an employer of full-time, part-time, seasonal, unionized and non-unionized labor, we are required to create

compensation programs, employment policies, and other administrative programs that comply with the laws of multiple countries.

In addition, there are diverse global regulations regarding our independent and third-party contractor workforce. Our operations

are subject to global labor and employment laws, including minimum wage and living wage laws and directives, wage and hour

laws, health and safety laws such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), immigration laws, and laws relating

to minimum age child labor, modern slavery, and forced labor. Federal and local labor laws also govern our interactions with

employee-representative organizations around the world. We also have significant obligations and liabilities with respect to our

postretirement benefit plans, including pension, healthcare, and life insurance benefits obligations, all of which are subject to

applicable laws and regulations.

These laws and regulations are subject to change at any time. We make the necessary adjustments to our processes in order to maintain

compliance with the regulatory environment impacting all aspects of our businesses. Complying with requirements can impose significant

costs, especially in jurisdictions where we do not have a significant physical presence. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for further information

regarding risks and costs associated with such compliance.
