ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#GEGrid–GE’s Grid Solutions and Power Conversion businesses (NYSE:GE) have been selected by Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, to provide the high-voltage (HV) equipment and the energy management system (EMS) to support Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Louisiana.
