   AI Data Centers Drive a Gas Turbine Shortfall

   AI data-center construction has pushed gas-turbine orders beyond manufacturers' production capacity, with new-equipment deliveries stretching into the 2030s and average US delivery times reaching six years, according to a Reuters report cited by IT之家 AI. Power companies and developers are seeking used, refurbished, mothballed and aeroderivative units as alternatives, although Enverus Intelligence Research researcher Noor Kureishi said the secondary market is unlikely to substantially ease delays because spare capacity is limited. Crusoe reportedly ordered 13 aeroderivative turbines from ProEnergy for US AI data-center projects with 650 MW of combined installed capacity.

   xAI Deploys Eight Converted Jet-Engine Turbines for Colossus 2

   The New York Times, citing Mississippi state permits and satellite imagery, reported that xAI installed eight converted jet-engine turbines in Mississippi to help power its Colossus 2 data center in Memphis. ProEnergy refurbished the retired General Electric engines, which are commonly found on Boeing aircraft and were adapted to burn natural gas. Each turbine is reportedly capable of producing up to 50 megawatts. The deployment offers a faster source of power than waiting years for grid connections, which have placed some AI data centers in lengthy connection queues. The Southern Environmental Law Center has challenged Mississippi’s approval of the turbines over emissions concerns, including formaldehyde and projected emissions; the reports do not state the outcome of that challenge.
