<strong>GE</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> in <strong>Africa</strong>.<br />
<strong>GE</strong> established its first foreign office in <strong>Africa</strong><br />
in 1898. More than a century later, our <strong>Africa</strong>n<br />
roots have grown deep and put <strong>GE</strong> in a unique<br />
position to provide wide-reaching solutions and<br />
establish long-lasting partnerships. <strong>GE</strong> <strong>Energy</strong><br />
currently has more than 700 employees in the<br />
region and several key locations. Key facilities in<br />

Solving customer challenges<br />
Providing reliable onsite power<br />
with gas engines<br />
<strong>Energy</strong> supply shortages have led a number<br />
of South <strong>Africa</strong>’s factories to install advanced<br />
natural gas- and steel gas-fueled <strong>GE</strong> gas<br />
engine systems to generate reliable onsite<br />
power. At a copper foundry owned by Thos<br />
Begbie & Company, four J620 natural gasfired<br />
<strong>GE</strong> gas engines will help the company<br />
become nearly self-sufficient, making<br />
production more stable.<br />
Purifying water at one of world’s<br />
largest coal power plants<br />
South <strong>Africa</strong>’s leading power provider, Eskom,<br />
will use <strong>GE</strong>’s innovative water and wastewater<br />
technology for the Kusile Power Plant, which<br />
is expected to be one of the world’s largest coalfired<br />
power plants when it is fully operational.<br />
<strong>GE</strong>’s water equipment will filter approximately<br />
250 million liters of water per day at the power<br />
plant, significantly reducing operating costs<br />
and increasing efficiency.<br />
Heavy duty gas turbines set<br />
availability record in Cote d’Ivoire<br />
High power reliability and fuel flexibility are<br />
why Compagnie Ivoirienne de Production<br />
d’Electricite (CIPREL) chose <strong>GE</strong>’s 6B and 9E gas<br />
turbines for its 210 MW Vridi II power plant,<br />
one of the first independent power projects<br />
built in the region. Three 6B and two 9E<br />
turbines allow the plant to run on gas and<br />
heavy fuel, enabling more than 95 percent<br />
availability—the highest level of any power<br />
plant in Cote d’Ivoire.<br />
Powering 2010 <strong>Africa</strong> World Cup<br />
Soccer in Angola<br />
When Luanda, Angola’s capital, was scheduled<br />
to host the 2010 <strong>Africa</strong> World Cup soccer<br />
championship, the government of Angola<br />
needed a way to provide power to the event<br />
and alleviate power shortages. <strong>GE</strong> and Electro<br />
Montagem, an EPC partner in the region,<br />
installed a TM2500 aeroderivative mobile power<br />
pack—literally, a power plant on wheels. The<br />
unit not only ensured that the World Cup events<br />
had adequate power, but also will continue<br />
operating in Angola.<br />
Responsive service capabilities help<br />
Nigeria LNG get back online<br />
During startup following a blackout at the<br />
Bonny Island natural gas liquefaction plant<br />
in Nigeria, one of <strong>GE</strong>’s 7EA heavy duty gas<br />
turbines suffered damage that caused<br />
production to halt on one compressor train.<br />
<strong>GE</strong> sprang into action to fix the wreckage.<br />
Its plant engineers, who are onsite around the<br />
clock, made temporary repairs that brought<br />
the unit back online and minimized downtime<br />
and production losses.<br />
<strong>GE</strong> helps reduce flare gas<br />
in Nigeria<br />
When a gas plant in Ebocha, Nigeria, was<br />
experiencing approximately 55 million<br />
standard cubic feet per day of gas flared, <strong>GE</strong><br />
provided a compression island solution, where<br />
reciprocating compressor units compressed<br />
natural gas and an aeroderivative gas turbine<br />
produced electricity utilizing the same gas<br />
that would have otherwise been flared. This<br />
solution helped provide additional power and<br />
gas captured for feedstock, keeping the plant<br />
self-sustained and significantly reducing its<br />
CO 2 emissions.<br />

Committed to <strong>Africa</strong><br />
<strong>GE</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> depends on the infrastructure, skills and institutions of stable,<br />
prosperous societies and healthy environments. To succeed as a global<br />
business, we need to be a part of building these societies where we operate.<br />
We do this through the products and services we create, the way we<br />
work with employees, customers, suppliers and investors, the public<br />
policies we advocate and the philanthropic partnerships we support.<br />
Working with governments<br />
Because <strong>GE</strong> believes that <strong>Africa</strong> must develop its own solutions,<br />
it has expanded its continental presence through partnerships with<br />
governments and private enterprises that deliver <strong>Africa</strong>n-inspired<br />
answers. <strong>GE</strong> combines its technological capabilities and financial<br />
strength with local knowledge to capitalize on opportunities and<br />
foster sustained growth.<br />

Investing in human capital<br />
Beyond business, <strong>GE</strong> is committed to addressing <strong>Africa</strong>’s needs,<br />
including employment, training and youth development. Growing and<br />
developing the skill base of our employees is not something new to <strong>GE</strong>.<br />
We are an early leader in developing leaders for the future. Training<br />
and skills development for employees is a core part of each individual’s<br />
growth in the company. <strong>GE</strong>’s Oil and Gas University and Power Systems<br />
Engineering Course also provide customers with state-of-the-art training<br />
in key areas of energy management.<br />
Being responsible citizens<br />
<strong>GE</strong>’s approach to corporate citizenship is a full-time commitment with<br />
the same goals, strategies and accountabilities that drive any other<br />
part of our business. <strong>GE</strong> applies its long-standing spirit of innovation<br />
and unique set of capabilities to tough challenges in our communities.<br />
The <strong>GE</strong> citizenship framework—“make money, make it ethically and<br />
make a difference”—enables the company to contribute to, and create<br />
value for society in ways aligned with its business strategy.<br />
Ecomagination<br />
Ecomagination is a business strategy to help meet customers’ demands<br />
for more energy-efficient products and to drive reliable growth for<br />
<strong>GE</strong>. It reflects <strong>GE</strong>’s commitment to invest in innovative solutions to<br />
environmental challenges that deliver valuable products and services<br />
to customers while generating profitable growth for the company.<br />
In the fifth full year after the launch of ecomagination in May 2005, <strong>GE</strong><br />
has made significant progress on each of our five main commitments.<br />
• Grew revenues from ecomagination products by 6 percent, to $18 billion<br />
• Invested $1.5 billion in cleaner technologies, achieving our 2010 goal<br />
one year ahead of schedule<br />
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions from operations by approximately<br />
22 percent from the 2004 baseline<br />
• Reduced water use by 30 percent from the 2006 baseline<br />
• Kept the public informed through this report, the ecomagination<br />
website and public engagements<br />
