Baker Hughes and GE Vernova secure major power supply agreement with Venture Global
What happened
Venture Global signed a frame agreement on October 9 with Baker Hughes and GE Vernova, naming them as suppliers for a major power project. The agreement covers up to 16 gas-fired power islands, each rated at 720 megawatts, intended to serve Venture Global’s LNG sites and potential AI data centers. The total potential value of the deal is $17.2 billion, though only eight units are reserved so far.
Why it matters
The agreement establishes a long-term supply relationship running through 2034 for critical power infrastructure. While the $17.2 billion figure assumes all units are ordered, the deal provides a significant scale of potential revenue for both suppliers. GE Vernova’s Power segment generated $21 billion over the last four quarters, providing context for the deal’s size.
