Electric Vehicle Charging: 120 GE electric vehicle charging stations will support a fleet of zero-emission electric vehicles set to be used during the London 2012 Olympic Games and onward.

Olympic Stadium: GE Lighting has supplied 14,000 lamps for the 80,000 seat stadium and GE Energy’s Uninterruptible Power Supplies and large, containerized switch gear will support the ceremonies and track and field events. Along with the Stadium, GE’s temporary switchgear solution is being supplied to 17 other Olympic venues.

Olympic Village: During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a total of 23,000 athletes and officials will reside in the Olympic Village. GE Digital Energy is supplying smart meters to the residents with information about their energy use to help control energy consumption and lower the village’s carbon footprint. GE Power Controls are supplying some of the power distribution equipment to the residential apartments helping to power the Games.
