On March 29, 2011, GE Energy announced plans to acquire a 90% stake in Converteam for $3.2 billion.
By the end of 2012, John Krenicki stepped down as president of GE Energy in a move to break the energy businesses into the following three independent sub-businesses:
- GE Energy Management
- GE Oil & Gas
- GE Power & Water.
This is seen as an effort to drive simplification and visibility in GE.
