(CercleFinance.com) - GE Vernova announces that it has won an order from SMS group to supply a direct power system based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC) for SSAB's 280 MVA electric arc furnace (EAF), planned for the new steelworks in Oxelösund (Sweden).
The order, booked in June 2024, supports SSAB's goal of producing steel without fossil fuels by 2030.
