**GE Vernova to Provide Fast, Efficient Power to Springfield, Missouri via New Gas Turbine Technology**

On March 28, 2025, GE Vernova announced it will supply three LM6000VELOX aeroderivative gas turbine packages to Springfield City Utilities (CU) in Missouri. These turbines, to be installed at the McCartney Generating Station, are expected to deliver a total of 150 megawatts of fast, reliable power to support regional electric demand and ensure grid stability.

The project addresses the city's growing electricity needs and prepares CU to meet a significant increase in its Planning Reserve Margin—from 15% to 36% during winter months by 2026. The dual-fuel LM6000VELOX turbines can run on natural gas or diesel and achieve full power in under five minutes. Once operational in 2027, they will become the utility's most efficient generators.

GE Vernova’s LM6000VELOX packages are known for their quick-start capabilities, high efficiency, and operational flexibility. They also reduce installation time by up to 40% and cut labor hours by approximately 4,000. These turbines are part of a global fleet of nearly 1,200 units across about 60 countries, with the ability to burn up to 100% hydrogen by volume in certain configurations.

“This investment is another step in ensuring Springfield’s energy reliability for the future,” said Warren Brooks, VP of Electric Operations at CU. Dave Ross, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Americas, added, “Operators like City Utilities need to ensure grid reliability with high efficiency. We're excited to support their expansion.”
