GE Vernova's new medium-voltage UPS aims to stabilize data center power.
The company says it could double or triple revenue per gigawatt.
Its stock is up 45.9% year to date.
What happened
GE Vernova unveiled its medium-voltage uninterruptible power supply (MV-UPS) on August 24. The company says it keeps data centers and AI factories running on stable, continuous power. MV-UPS is expected to ship in mid-2027.
Why it matters
CEO Scott Strazik said the expanded power stack, including MV-UPS and solid-state transformers, could boost revenue per gigawatt by 2 to 3 times. Currently, GE Vernova earns about $200 million to $300 million per gigawatt of data center capacity. This would make its end-to-end power solution more valuable.
What to watch
GE Vernova's stock trades at roughly 49 times forward earnings as of August 31. Investors will watch if the premium valuation already reflects expected growth. The backlog, at $176 billion, won't turn into revenue until closer to 2030.

GE Vernova's unveiling of the MV-UPS completes its end-to-end data center power solution. The company already provides gas turbines, transformers, switchgear, and energy management. The MV-UPS adds a stability layer, preventing sudden demand changes from straining the grid or on-site generation. This is key to its 'behind the meter' offering, which lets data centers operate independently of the grid. The opportunity is large, as data centers need both massive power and continuous supply. GE Vernova's second-quarter results show strong demand, with data-center orders exceeding $5 billion in the first half of 2026. The electrification segment saw revenue soar 68%. However, the stock's high valuation reflects optimism; it trades at 49 times forward earnings. Investors are betting on execution, as the backlog will only convert to revenue later. The company also faces challenges, such as a weaker wind segment and an EPS miss. The next few quarters will test whether GE Vernova can deliver on its promises.
