GE Vernova (GEV) is preparing contracts to help strengthen Venezuela's power grid and would be close to signing them had the country not suffered a recent earthquake, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing an interview with Chief Executive Officer Scott Strazik.
The company and Venezuela's Corpoelec electricity utility signed a deal last month to ramp up work to strengthen the country's grid. GE Vernova will first rehabilitate 11 gigawatts of installed generating capacity in Venezuela before adding new capacity, Strazik told Bloomberg.
GE Vernova did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
