A New Way of Solving Energy Access
In April 2025, GE Vernova hosted the first-of-its kind Mendoza Collective Action Summit. Over three days in Mendoza, Argentina, 15 global leaders from across the public, private, and academic sectors came together to confront a shared challenge: how to accelerate access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy for all.
What emerged was a shared sense of urgency that we need new ways of working together, which led to the development of a set of shared foundational values to guide this work, known as the Mendoza Principles. The report outlines the principles and actions that the energy industry must take to meet rapidly growing energy demand while delivering sustainable development for the benefit of our communities.
