Utility companies and developers are increasingly seeking second-hand gas turbines and repurposed equipment to meet the rising energy demands of AI data centers, as new equipment delivery times extend to the next decade. Despite skepticism about AI technology, the demand for energy-intensive data centers is growing, leading to a backlog in essential energy infrastructure. Analysts indicate that the secondary market for turbines is thriving, with rising prices and significant orders from data center operators. The global demand for gas turbines now exceeds production capacity, prompting companies to explore refurbished or adapted equipment. However, these options come with challenges, including uncertain maintenance histories and limited service options.
