Core Insights - The demand for on-site energy is surging due to data centers facing up to seven years of grid connection wait times, prompting developers to seek alternative power sources such as aircraft-derived turbines and fossil fuel generators [1][3] Group 1: Industry Dynamics - Data center developers are increasingly using aircraft-derived turbines and generators to power AI model training and operations without immediate grid connection [3] - GE Vernova is supplying aircraft-derived gas turbines to data center developers, expecting to provide nearly 1 gigawatt of power to facilities for OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank in Texas [3] - ProEnergy has sold over 1 gigawatt of 50-megawatt gas turbines, which are modified from jet engines, indicating a growing demand for these power sources [3] Group 2: Market Trends - ProEnergy's ability to deliver power faster than larger original equipment manufacturers is seen as advantageous, with plans to scale power supply gradually [4] - Boom Supersonic, supported by OpenAI's CEO, has reached an agreement to sell turbines expected to provide 1.2 gigawatts of power, linking their turbine production to their aircraft business [4] Group 3: Cost and Emission Concerns - The use of diesel and gas generators is increasing, with Cummins selling over 39 gigawatts of power, nearly doubling its capacity this year [5] - There are concerns regarding the efficiency and emissions of small power sources, as regulations on the use of backup generators are being relaxed to meet data center demands [5] - The cost of on-site power may exceed that of simple grid connections, with modeling showing prices around $175 per megawatt-hour, double the average industrial rate [5] Group 4: Future Outlook - There is a potential decline in the power purchasing frenzy as large enterprises slow capital expenditures, with over a third of companies expecting the AI boom to end within the next twelve months [6] - Despite concerns about a tech downturn, businesses perceive the likelihood of a significant economic slowdown as relatively low, with a belief that the risks associated with AI-related downturns are limited [6]
