GE Energy Management Building Facility in Clearwater with 250 New Jobs

Gov. Rick Scott announced on Thursday that GEs Energy Management is launching a new facility in Clearwater, investing $50 million and creating 250 new jobs.

General Electric Energy Managements investment in Clearwater is great news for Florida families, Scott said. The creation of 250 jobs means more Floridians will be able to provide for their families and pursue their dreams in the Sunshine State. Florida businesses have already created more than 620,000 private-sector jobs since December 2010, and we will continue to create an opportunity economy where every Floridian can live the American dream.

Thanks to the support from Gov. Scott, Commissioner Roche and Mayor Cretekos, we are well-positioned to more quickly deliver improved outcomes for our customers and solve some of the worlds toughest energy problems, said GE Energy Management CEO Mark Begor. From this facility, well serve customers as close as Duke Energy right here in Florida, and as far away as Southeast Asia and South America.
