GE Vernova has opened a new Center of Excellence (COE) for Power Transmission digital services in Casablanca, Morocco, as the company looks to strengthen support for electricity networks around the world.
The global energy technology company, which focuses on electrification, power generation and decarbonisation solutions, said the centre is now operational. It will support GE Vernova service teams working with utilities and grid operators that manage power transmission equipment across global markets.
Casablanca was chosen because of Morocco’s growing base of digital engineering talent. The new facility is expected to help GE Vernova improve how it delivers digital services, including the use of equipment data to spot potential problems earlier, support better maintenance planning and speed up response times.
Power Transmission is part of GE Vernova’s Electrification segment. It provides key technologies such as transformers, switch-gear and related systems that help move electricity safely and reliably across power networks.
Eric Chaussin, CEO and Vice President of Power Transmission Business, GE Vernova, said: “Global electricity demand is growing, and power transmission services are increasingly important to help keep electricity reliable and available. This Center of Excellence strengthens our digital services capability and reflects our confidence in Morocco’s local talent. By connecting this expertise with GE Vernova’s global Power Transmission experience, we aim to deliver faster, more consistent and more data-driven service to customers.”
The Casablanca COE is also expected to play an important role in skills development. It will work alongside the Technical Institute of Casablanca (TIC), GE Vernova’s internal training facility located on the same premises. The institute will provide hands-on training, commissioning support and knowledge sharing linked to digital technologies and power transmission solutions.
The launch also builds on GE Vernova’s wider work in Africa, including projects in Kenya, Algeria, the West African Power Pool and South Africa. Through the new Casablanca centre, the company aims to connect local Moroccan expertise with its global service operations, while supporting more reliable and efficient electricity infrastructure.
