GE Vernova’s CERius Cuts Monitoring Costs 50% at Tunisia Station, Unveils Grid Resilience Whitepaper
GEV•At Africa Energy Forum, GE Vernova introduced its AI-driven CERius platform at Tunisia’s Sousse B station, trimming emissions monitoring costs by 50% and enabling EU Carbon Border Adjustment compliance. It published a Spain 2025 blackout whitepaper and urged gas turbines and synchronous condensers to boost grid resilience as renewables grow.
1. Showcase at Africa Energy Forum
GE Vernova used the Africa Energy Forum to highlight its suite of digital and physical grid technologies aimed at enhancing power reliability and emissions management across the continent. The company emphasized the need for scalable solutions as African utilities integrate higher shares of renewable generation.
2. CERius Platform Deployment and Benefits
The CERius™ emissions management platform combines artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and digital twin capabilities to deliver real-time environmental performance monitoring. Implementation at Tunisia’s Sousse B power station by STEG demonstrated up to 50% lower investment and maintenance expenses compared with traditional hardware-focused systems while generating verifiable data for EU Carbon Border Adjustment compliance.
3. Whitepaper Release and Grid Recommendations
GE Vernova released a whitepaper on lessons from Spain’s 2025 blackout, outlining strategies to firm grids facing rising renewable penetration. Key recommendations include deploying gas turbines, synchronous condensers and advanced power electronics to stabilize voltage, manage intermittency and strengthen overall network resilience.
