Electricity can't keep up with artificial intelligence: Old aircraft engines are in action

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Surging electricity demand from AI data centers has pushed gas turbine orders beyond manufacturers' production capacity, extending lead times for new turbines in the U.S. to as long as six years. As a result, companies are turning to second-hand equipment and retired aircraft engines to fill the gap. The shift highlights how power supply constraints are becoming a bottleneck for AI infrastructure buildout. Watch for further tightening in turbine availability and whether refurbished and repurposed machinery can keep pace with data center power needs.
