EU Supports GE for Circuit Breaker of Europe’s Electrical Grid GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has been awarded EUR 2.5 million through the European Commission’s LIFEclimate 29 Jul, 2021, 4:30 am GE Renewable Energy’s Grid Solutions business has been awarded EUR 2.5 million through the European Commission’s LIFEclimate action program to help fund the development of a sulfur hexafluoride free 245 kilovolts G Cubed live tank circuit-breaker. The new circuit-breaker will rely on GE’s industry-leading g cubed gas technology to deliver the same high performance and compact dimensional footprint as a traditional SF6 circuit-breaker. The co-funding reflects the EU’s commitment to accelerate the decarbonization of Europe’s electrical grids and help them get ready for the EU’s stricter fluorinated gas regulation, which aims to cut F-gas emissions by two-thirds by 2030. GE’s g³ gas is a game-changing alternative to SF6 - a potent greenhouse gas - with a global warming potential that is about 99% less compared to SF6.
