Data Centers Turn to Aeroderivative Turbines and Diesel Generators Amid Power Shortages
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Data centers are increasingly utilizing aeroderivative turbines and diesel generators to address power shortages caused by limited availability of large gas turbines and delayed grid connections. Notable partnerships, such as GE Vernova's supply of turbines for Crusoe's Stargate facility in Texas, have led to a significant rise in turbine orders, while diesel generator sales have surged, prompting some states to relax regulations despite environmental concerns. The U.S. government is also considering leveraging existing generators to support the grid during these shortages.
