Energy equipment manufacturer GE Vernova plans to expand its operations in Findlay Township and Rostraver Township, Pennsylvania. The $166 million project is expected to create at least 714 jobs.

The investment will include the purchase of the company's Rostraver facility and the installation of new industrial machinery and equipment at both sites.

“Investing in American manufacturing is the key to turbocharging the country’s economy, and Western Pennsylvania plays an important role in our energy future,” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova. “Along with modernizing factories and expanding capacity, we are growing the highly skilled workforce that builds the world-class technologies our customers depend on every day. Our teams have helped power America’s grid for decades, and we are excited to continue that critical work in this new era of electricity demand.”

To support the project the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) offered GE Vernova a funding proposal that includes a $5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant and a $1 million WEDnetPA grant for workforce training. The company is also encouraged to apply for the Manufacturing Tax Credit program and the Qualified Manufacturing Innovation and Reinvestment Deduction program.

“GE Vernova’s decision to expand in western Pennsylvania reinforces that the Commonwealth is a premier destination for advanced manufacturing and energy innovation,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “Through our economic development strategy, we're making targeted investments that help companies grow, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen Pennsylvania’s competitiveness. We’re proud to support GE Vernova as it expands its footprint here in our Commonwealth.”

GE Vernova is an energy equipment and services company specializing in power generation, grid modernization, electrification, and renewable energy technologies. Formed in 2024 as a spin-off of General Electric’s energy businesses, the company manufactures equipment and provides services for gas, wind, hydroelectric, solar, and grid infrastructure.

“This investment represents more than a traditional economic development win. It is a direct validation of two of the region’s core strategic priorities: Energy Leadership and Advanced Manufacturing Growth. GE Vernova is one of the world’s leading energy technology companies, serving power generation, grid modernization, electrification, and renewable energy markets,” added Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference. “We couldn’t be prouder of its decision to expand in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It underscores the competitive advantages that continue to differentiate our region, including a skilled industrial workforce, deep engineering talent, world-class energy expertise, and a robust manufacturing supply chain.”
