GE Vernova Fulfills H-Class Gas Turbine Order for Kozienice Station

Enea Group ordered two of GE Vernova’s 9HA.01 gas turbine combined-cycle blocks for the gradual replacement of coal-fired power at Kozienice station in Poland, assisting with the country’s energy transition toward natural gas. Each block includes a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, integrated Mark VIe distributed control system, and a three-pressure level with reheat heat recovery steam generator.

“The new generation units will play a key role in the transformation of Poland’s energy sector,” said Grzegorz Kinelski, President of the Management Board, Enea. “At the same time, it’s important that the project’s implementation provides a development boost for the region and creates tangible jobs. We estimate that the involvement of Polish companies will reach around 75%. A portion of key components will be manufactured in Poland, and the project’s implementation framework ensures participation of Polish design, construction, assembly, and installation companies, as well as Polish suppliers of equipment and technological systems. The new units in Kozienice will also contribute to stabilizing the national power system.”

The steam turbine and generator will be locally manufactured in Poland at GE Vernova’s factories in Elblag and Wroclaw, respectively. Also, the gas turbines will be manufactured at GE Vernova’s Manufacturing Excellence Center in Belfort, France. With this order being booked in Q4 2025, the company’s H-class gas turbine fleet has now surpassed 200 total unit orders.

“Poland is poised to emerge as a model nation for the energy transition, as it stands on the brink of rapidly diversifying its energy sources,” said Joseph Anis, President & CEO for GE Vernova Gas Power in Europe, Middle East & Africa. “Through this project, we’ll bring our combined-cycle power plant technology to help meet Enea’s objectives in terms of energy security, costs, and sustainability. We extend our gratitude to our customers for their continued trust and collaboration, which have been instrumental in reaching this landmark.”

The natural gas-fired Kozienice plant, using GE Vernova’s H-class equipment, is expected to generate a lower emissions impact with up to 60% less emissions compared to fossil-powered plants of a similar size. Enea’s new plant will be built by Calik Enerji, a Turkish engineering, procurement, and construction company.

“Delivering on Poland's commitment to transition within the framework of European Union public procurement regulations, while strengthening energy security and providing affordable power, requires advanced technology, engineering, and forward-looking collaborations,” said Temel Kotil, CEO & Board Member of Çalık Enerji. “We are proud to bring our expertise and standards to the Kozienice project on top of our presence in Europe, and to collaborate with GE Vernova in providing a new generation of sustainable and resilient power for the people of Poland.”

Jafurah Cogeneration ISPP

Earlier this month, GE Vernova revealed that the Jafurah Cogeneration Independent Steam and Power Plant (ISPP) began commercial operations approximately 125 km southeast of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The ISPP leverages GE Vernova’s core power plant equipment, 7HA.01 gas turbine, and 20-year service agreement which includes maintenance and parts supply to manage the engine’s lifecycle.

The facility, expected to be among the most efficient power plants in Saudi Arabia, will generate up to 314 tons of steam/hour and up to 320 MW of electricity to support operations in the Jafurah gas field. By 2030, the field may produce up to 630,000 barrels of natural gas liquids and condensates and over 420 million cubic feet of ethane per day. The cogeneration process optimizes energy output by capturing and reusing extra heat or steam.
