Enverus sees resale turbine market covering little of the AI data center power gap

Second-hand turbines and converted jet engines are not likely to offset much of the power delay that AI data centers are facing, said Noor Qureshi, associate at Enverus Intelligence Research. She said resale supply is already tight, with little spare equipment left, according to a Reuters report. Global orders top 100 GW as makers build 60 to 70 GW a year Qureshi expects the secondary market will only assist to a point. Turbines are one of a handful of obstacles, she said. Projects also are held up by air permits and grid access. Delivery for new turbine orders is estimated around 2030 and 2031. On average now, it takes six years to get a new gas turbine delivered in the United States, said Aurora Tenorio, senior analyst at Wood Mackenzie.
