GE Vernova has announced an expansion of its Power Transmission manufacturing facility in Charleroi, Pennsylvania.

• The expansion is part of a $138 million investment in the Charleroi facility, with about 275 new jobs through 2028 and additional hiring through 2030; GE Vernova also said it expects to invest $166 million in Western Pennsylvania and create more than 700 jobs across Pennsylvania. The announcement was marked at an event with Governor Josh Shapiro.
