GE Energy has the following divisions:
GE's total backlog of firm unfilled orders at the end of 2010 was $66.7 billion, a decrease of 1% from year-end 2009, reflecting decreased demand at Energy Infrastructure, partially offset by increased demand at Technology Infrastructure. Of this backlog, $46.0 billion related to products, of which 59% was scheduled for delivery in 2011. Product services orders, included in this reported backlog for only the succeeding 12 months, were $20.6 billion at the end of 2010. Product services orders beyond the succeeding 12 months were approximately $108.7 billion, which combined with the firm unfilled orders described above resulted in a total backlog of approximately $175.4 billion at December 31, 2010.
GE Energy is a leading supplier of technology, products and services to the global energy industry. The company is a part of GE Infrastructure, an operating segment of General Electric (GE). GE Energy's strong market position gives it significant bargaining power. However, the company could be threatened by rising steel prices which could impact its profitability.
