GE Vernova Inc. has launched its Centre of Excellence (COE) for Power Transmission digital services in Casablanca, Morocco. Operational immediately, the centre is designed to help GE Vernova service teams support customers operating power transmission equipment worldwide. Casablanca was chosen for its growing pool of digital engineering talent.
Power Transmission is part of GE Vernova’s Electrification segment, providing the transformers, switchgear and related technologies that move electricity across power networks. It’s Digital Services division help teams use equipment data to catch issues earlier, plan maintenance and respond faster.
“Global electricity demand is growing, and power transmission services are increasingly important to help keep electricity reliable and available,” said Eric Chaussin, CEO and Vice President of Power Transmission business at GE Vernova. “This Centre 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 centre is also expected to support training and knowledge sharing through its Technical Institute of Casablanca (TIC), an internal GE Vernova training facility located in the same premises as the COE in Casablanca. The training will support hands-on training, commissioning practices, and knowledge transfer related to digital solutions.
This announcement builds on GE Vernova’s work with customers across Africa to support more reliable and efficient electricity systems. In recent years, the company has supported grid and power infrastructure projects across the continent, including electricity transmission and control centre projects in Kenya, grid equipment and automation work in Algeria, regional grid software support for the West African Power Pool, and power plant services in South Africa. The Casablanca centre adds a digital services capability in Morocco, helping connect local talent with GE Vernova’s global service needs.
GE Vernova also participated this week at the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, reinforcing its continued focus on supporting Africa’s electricity infrastructure, regional energy cooperation and long-term growth.
