Keeping the Lights On: How GE Vernova is Powering Up Guadeloupe

check this out! EDF SEI has picked a team from GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business and Eiffage Énergie Systèmes to set up a cool synchronous condenser system at the EDF SEI TAC Jarry Sud plant in Guadeloupe, France. This system is gonna help keep the island’s electrical grid stable, especially with all the renewable energy being used. It’s like a backup plan for when things go haywire in the grid, making sure everything runs smoothly. The best part is that it’s carbon-free and cost-effective, so it’s good for the environment and the pocket! The team from GE Vernova is super stoked about this project and they’re all about helping Guadeloupe reach its decarbonization goals. The use of renewable energy in Guadeloupe has been on the rise, going from 23% in 2020 to 35% in 2022. GE Vernova is bringing in a 200 MW.s/25 MVA synchronous generator and Eiffage Énergie Systèmes is taking care of the electrical distribution and site management. This is a big step towards a greener and more stable energy future for Guadeloupe. How cool is that?
