GE Vernova to Invest $166 Million in Western Pennsylvania Expansion, Creating 714 Jobs

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced on July 30 a $166 million investment from GE Vernova to expand its operations in Western Pennsylvania.

714 new jobs

The project will create at least 714 new jobs over the next four years and retain 735 existing full-time positions. The Commonwealth is investing $6 million, including a $5 million RACP grant and a $1 million WEDnetPA training grant.

Two facilities

GE Vernova plans to expand operations at 101 North Campus Drive in Findlay Township, Allegheny County, and 216 Finley Road in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County. The company recently purchased the Rostraver facility it had been leasing and will install new industrial machinery and equipment at both sites.

Energy equipment

GE Vernova, formed in 2024 as a spin-off of General Electric’s energy businesses, also operates facilities in Allentown and Charleroi, where the announcement was made.

Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova said:

“Investing in American manufacturing is the key to turbocharging the country’s economy, and Western Pennsylvania plays an important role in our energy future. Along with modernizing factories and expanding capacity, we are growing the highly skilled workforce that builds the world-class technologies our customers depend on every day.”
