GE Energy was a division of General Electric and was headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.[3] As of 2013, it is no longer an active division of GE and all operations are managed between GE Energy Management, GE Oil & Gas, and GE Power & Water.

History

In 2008, a company-wide reorganization prompted by financial losses led to the unit's formation from companies within GE Infrastructure.

On March 29, 2011, GE Energy announced plans to acquire a 90% stake in Converteam for $3.2 billion.[4][5]

In July 2012, John Krenicki announced that he would be stepping down as president of GE Energy, and the business would be broken into three new GE businesses:[6]

This move was seen as an effort to drive simplification and visibility in GE, and the reorganization was completed in October 2012.
