GE Vernova Foundation Announces $250,000 Grant to Expand Green Spaces in Boston

GE Vernova Foundation marked Earth Day by unveiling a new grant aimed at revitalizing green spaces in underserved neighborhoods of Boston. As part of a broader $500,000 commitment to the Trust for Public Land’s Parks for People program, $250,000 will go toward developing four new parks in Dorchester, Roslindale, and Mattapan.

The announcement was made during a celebration at the New York Stock Exchange, where GE Vernova leaders rang the Opening Bell to commemorate Earth Day and highlight the initiative. The new parks are expected to provide nearly 40,000 residents with access to green spaces within a 10-minute walk from their homes.

Kristin Carvell, president of GE Vernova Foundation, emphasized the project's alignment with the company's mission of sustainability and community resilience. “These new parks and schoolyards will help foster stronger, healthier communities and provide local students and residents with much-needed green spaces,” she said.

The initiative includes shovel-ready projects that will be completed over the next 12 to 24 months. They will incorporate environmental features such as stormwater systems, rain gardens, and native tree canopies. Each park will be designed through a participatory process involving local residents and students.

Jodi Valenta of the Trust for Public Land highlighted the community impact, stating that projects like the Edgewater Trail and Archdale Community Greenspace will create vital spaces for health, activity, and nature connection.

GE Vernova, which opened its headquarters in Cambridge in 2023, plans to extend the program globally to support resilient communities where its 75,000 employees live and work.

GE Vernova Builds a Global Library of Power Grid Intelligence to Support Energy Transition

GE Vernova’s Consulting Services team has developed a robust repository of power system intelligence, covering 55 countries from Japan to the UAE. This resource is helping nations and energy developers craft cost-effective and reliable master energy plans amid surging global electricity demand and the shift toward renewables.

Led by Gene Hinkle, executive of Power Economics and Software, the team includes 25 experts with deep regional and global experience. These analysts combine technical, economic, and policy data to simulate and compare thousands of energy system configurations using integrated systems planning (ISP) software.

The ISP software evaluates outcomes across key dimensions such as cost, reliability, emissions, and system constraints. For example, in the UAE, the team modeled multiple generation and storage scenarios to identify the optimal mix to meet growth and decarbonization targets at favorable costs.

This growing database, initially built for internal purposes, now underpins GE Vernova's software offerings and client advisory work. It provides decision-makers with validated, high-fidelity models to address growing electricity needs—especially vital as global power demand rose 4.3% last year, double the decade average.

Looking forward, GE Vernova plans to expand the database to include more countries, reinforcing its commitment to support a modern, resilient global power infrastructure.
