Power & Energy is the largest and fastest-growing segment, with $28.6B in 2025 sales and revenues, surpassing Construction Industries and Resource Industries.
The segment includes power generation, oil & gas, industrial, data centers, distributed generation, and natural gas.
The Rail Division was recast into Resource Industries as of March 2026, affecting segment reporting.
Market positioning and growth drivers
Positioned for sustained, strategic growth through 2030, targeting over 3x sales in power generation and significant capacity expansions in large engines and gas turbines compared to 2024.
Historic and projected global electricity demand is rising sharply, with data center demand expected to grow 200% by 2035.
Natural gas is increasingly important as a transition fuel, with global demand projected to rise 15% from 2023 to 2035.
Renewable energy is growing rapidly but requires firm capacity, often provided by distributed generation solutions.
