Coming off its Minds + Machines Europe conference in Paris this week, GE’s executives headed a couple hours south to Bouchain, France, to commission what is now the world’s most efficient combined-cycle power plant. EDF Energy’s plant, equipped with GE’s HA turbine and officially started up today, has been recognized by Guinness World Records for its 62.22 percent efficiency.
It’s an accomplishment that has significant ramifications for EDF, not only for the power it can generate, but the space needed as well.
