General Electric Co. (GE) disclosed more than $3 billion in new customer agreements in its energy business, with commitments in Brazil , Egypt , Australia , Iraq and other countries.

The announcement comes a week after the conglomerate said it had booked $1 billion in North American orders for its natural gas-powered generators so far this year. GE is benefiting from low natural gas prices, stricter air-pollution regulations and a slowly recovering
U.S. economy.

The latest orders for the industrial conglomerate include more than $800 million in new commitments to supply wind and gas turbines for projects in
Brazil , $300 million for gas turbines in Egypt and an agreement in Australia to provide technology for a floating liquefied natural gas platform. In Iraq , GE was selected to aid oil recovery operations led by BP Iraq-N.V.-British Petroleum (BP.LN, BP) and it signed a multiyear deal with Mass Global Investment Company, an independent power producer in Northern Iraq , to provide technology and services.

More than $1.5 billion in new commitments have come in for GE's new 1.6-100 megawatt wind turbines.

The company's stock closed down 0.2% at $16.18 on Monday and was trading at $16.25 in premarket trading. As of Monday's close, the stock is down 12% this year.
