Located on Tanzania’s southeastern coastline near the Mozambican border, Mtwara is an area rich in opportunity. With significant onshore and offshore natural gas reserves, it plays an important role in the country’s long-term economic strategy. However, until recently, electricity demand in the region was growing faster than available supply.
Unlike major urban centers, Mtwara is not connected to the national grid. Instead, it has relied on a small, isolated system powered by outdated reciprocating engines. To address these challenges, TANESCO, the state-owned utility, implemented an innovative approach: relocating two GE Vernova TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbines — mobile, aircraft-engine-derived power units — from other parts of the country.
“The flexibility of these turbines was critical to making the project work,” said Gilman Kasiga. “TANESCO was able to shift generation capacity to where it was needed most, helping stabilize electricity supply for communities and businesses that had experienced outages for years.”

Speed and Adaptability
In recent years, pressure on Mtwara’s electricity system has increased significantly. The region is experiencing rapid population growth and hosts energy-intensive industries, including Tanzania’s largest cement plant. Its deepwater port has also developed into a key export hub, facilitating trade with international markets. Additionally, a planned $42 billion liquefied natural gas project is expected to further accelerate economic activity and electricity demand.
By 2022, improving power reliability in Mtwara became a priority for TANESCO. The utility faced a choice: wait years for new infrastructure or act immediately. In collaboration with GE Vernova, it identified a mobile gas turbine in Dar es Salaam that could be rapidly redeployed.
This relocation did not significantly impact Dar es Salaam, which is connected to Tanzania’s national grid with over 4,000 megawatts of installed capacity. The temporary reduction in generation was minimal and absorbed without major disruption. Designed as a modular, trailer-mounted system, the TM2500 turbine was built for mobility. After disassembly, it was transported by road and sea to Mtwara and reinstalled within a few months.

“The longest part of the process was actually waiting for transport,” Kasiga explained. “Without that delay, the relocation itself could have taken just four to five weeks. These turbines are modular — essentially unplug, move, and reconnect.”
The first relocation, completed three years ago, proved highly successful. As a result, a second turbine was moved to Mtwara last year. Together, the two units now provide approximately 40 megawatts of capacity, with built-in redundancy that ensures continued supply even during maintenance.
Skills Gained, Emissions Reduced
The project has delivered benefits beyond improved electricity reliability. It also strengthened local technical expertise. GE Vernova engineers worked closely with Power Associates Limited, which led the relocation and installation efforts.
According to Kasiga, the project created a lasting impact by enabling local teams to execute a complex, fast-track energy project to international standards. This experience has enhanced their capabilities and positioned them for more advanced projects in the future.
In addition, the newer turbine technology supports broader energy transition goals. Compared to older reciprocating engines, the TM2500 is more fuel-efficient and produces lower emissions per unit of electricity. Its dual-fuel capability — allowing operation on both gas and liquid fuels — also adds flexibility in situations where fuel supply may be constrained.
Resilience Amid Growing Demand
Ensuring this level of resilience is a key element of GE Vernova’s ongoing partnership with TANESCO. In Mtwara, the focus has now shifted from rapid deployment to long-term operation, including routine maintenance and targeted upgrades to keep pace with rising demand.
“Reliable electricity builds confidence — it encourages investment, business expansion, and improved services,” Kasiga said. “Stable power creates the foundation for both economic growth and social development, which is the ultimate goal of this project.”
The wind energy sector is experiencing a phase of rapid expansion. Forecasts indicate global capacity will nearly double by 2030, surpassing 2,000 gigawatts. This surge requires existing manufacturing facilities to scale up operations, accelerate production cycles, and enhance efficiency to keep pace with demand.
Located along Vietnam’s northeastern coastline, GE Vernova’s Hai Phong facility exemplifies modern manufacturing evolution. Since its 2009 launch, this 800-employee plant has become a global hub for wind turbine generators and electrical components, producing 80% of the company’s renewable energy parts for international markets.
Recent operational overhauls at the site have yielded significant results. “Our productivity has risen 15%, efficiency improved by 25%, and delivery timelines shortened by 30%,” explains Vu Trang, the plant’s general director. Leading a management team where women hold nearly 70% of roles—more than double Vietnam’s national average for female leadership—she emphasizes these advancements allow increased output without new machinery or safety compromises.

Turning Pressure into Improvement
Maintaining renewable energy momentum requires strategic foresight alongside speed. Hai Phong teams analyze demand projections 12-18 months ahead, coordinating preparations for material procurement, equipment capacity, and workforce readiness across multiple departments.
This forward-looking strategy addresses Trang’s identified primary challenge: overcoming machinery limitations. By implementing improvement workshops focused on minimizing downtime, refining maintenance protocols, and resolving process bottlenecks, the team has significantly boosted operational throughput.

Targeted initiatives have also driven progress. In 2025, engineering efforts eliminated 50% of annual crane operations by streamlining workflows and removing non-essential lifting tasks, reducing forklift dependency in the process.
However, technical enhancements alone proved insufficient. The team recognized that lasting success required cultural transformation alongside operational upgrades.
From Capability to Culture
Workforce development remains central to sustaining improvements. As demand projections rise, the plant evaluates staff competencies for advanced production requirements. Recruitment strategies and cross-training programs adapt accordingly, enabling flexible workforce deployment across production lines.

Trang stresses continuous skill development: “This isn’t about single-session training—it’s ongoing knowledge sharing, open communication, and learning from errors without assigning blame.” The focus cultivates organizational awareness around safety, quality standards, and improvement methodologies, embedding progress into daily routines.
Collaborative culture further strengthens operations. Employees actively identify inefficiencies and propose solutions based on frontline experience. Production teams and engineers collaborate through structured project groups, regularly presenting progress updates to leadership.
Performance Starts with Empowered People
As a critical node in global renewable energy infrastructure, Hai Phong demonstrates how human expertise complements technological advancement. While sophisticated tools enable growth, the workforce’s dedication transforms challenges into quantifiable outcomes, ensuring sustainable, efficient fulfillment of global wind power demands.

Sustaining Improvement for the Future
Trang advocates for embedding continuous improvement into operational DNA: “Lean transformation isn’t a final destination—it’s an ongoing journey. With escalating demands, stagnation means regression.”
In an industry defined by booming wind energy demand and global talent competition, Hai Phong’s model demonstrates how rigorous operational discipline combined with inclusive leadership can accelerate large-scale energy transition goals.

India’s electricity grid faced severe challenges in 2010, with power shortages reaching approximately 13% during peak demand periods. Nearly 25% of the population remained without electricity access. However, the nation has made extraordinary strides in a relatively short timeframe. Currently, 99.6% of its 1.5 billion citizens have electricity, a feat that stands as one of the most remarkable energy transformations in modern history. Yet, this is merely the beginning of India’s clean energy journey.
“Universal power access has been achieved,” states Deepak Maloo, leader of GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in India and the Asia Pacific region. “The focus now is delivering uninterrupted electricity.” To meet the demands of its booming economy, India aims to expand total power capacity to nearly 900 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. Central to this plan is a commitment to clean energy, with a target of deploying 500 GW of “non-fossil fuel” capacity—including renewables, large hydro, and nuclear—by the same deadline.
While ambitious, India’s natural advantages provide a strong foundation. Regions like Gujarat’s sun-drenched plains receive over eight hours of daily sunlight. Monsoon winds sweep across the country’s 6,900-mile (11,000-kilometer) coastline, creating a complementary cycle of solar and wind energy. “Sunny days paired with windy nights enable continuous renewable generation,” explains Maloo.
India is determined to drive this transition domestically. Rather than importing complete power infrastructure, the nation is prioritizing local production of wind turbines and solar panels. Since 2014, the government’s “Make in India” initiative has spurred investments in manufacturing to boost economic self-reliance and job creation. “The vision is ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’—a self-sufficient India,” says Maloo.

Work in Progress
India has already demonstrated its potential. The nation now operates over 50 GW of wind capacity—exceeding Argentina’s total grid output. A flagship achievement was the development of a GE Vernova onshore turbine tailored for India’s low-wind conditions and expansive landscapes.
The turbine’s 2.7 MW output was entirely engineered and built within India. Bengaluru’s engineering hub conceived the design, while Gujarat and Karnataka factories produced its blades. The nacelle, housing critical components like the gearbox and generator, was assembled in Maharashtra—a testament to nationwide collaboration.
Local expertise fuels this progress. Pune, renowned for its academic institutions, supplies skilled professionals in manufacturing and maintenance. “Our top-tier universities ensure a steady pipeline of talent,” Maloo notes.
The Road to 500 Gigawatts
With wind resources capable of supporting up to 200 GW, India has barely tapped its potential. “Land constraints demand turbines with higher efficiency and capacity factors,” says Maloo. GE Vernova’s next-generation 3.8 MW turbine, already operational in the U.S., is poised to meet this challenge. It can power 30,800 households and reduces the footprint of a 300 MW wind farm by requiring 79 units instead of 112 older models.
India’s regulatory flexibility allows taller towers, enhancing performance. “Greater hub heights optimize energy capture,” Maloo explains. The turbine will be manufactured locally, with tower components sourced from Indian partners. This approach elevates GE Vernova’s local content share to over 70%, reinforcing its commitment to domestic industrial growth.

“In some European countries, a large equipment manufacturer might install 500 megawatts a year,” says Deepak Maloo, regional leader for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in India and Asia Pacific. “In India, we’re talking about 6 gigawatts.”
For manufacturers, India’s “Make in India” policy offers access to a massive market in exchange for local investment. “European firms might install 500 MW annually,” says Maloo. “India’s scale demands 6 GW.” GE Vernova, present in India since 1902, leverages its 11 factories and 10,000 employees to support this growth. With 57,000 turbines installed globally, the company emphasizes its ability to deliver “reliability, quality, and uniformity at scale.”
From its first hydro plant at Shivanasamudra Falls to its current wind leadership, India’s energy narrative continues to evolve. As Maloo concludes, “This isn’t just about turbines—it’s about building a self-reliant, sustainable future.”
