Data Centers Deploy Repurposed Jet Engines to Overcome Power Grid Constraints

Facing years-long waits for grid connections, data center operators are adopting an unconventional power source: repurposed jet engines. These aeroderivative turbines provide immediate electricity during construction and early operation phases, with some projects deploying over 1 gigawatt of temporary power capacity.

Aviation Technology Meets Data Center Power Demands

Data center developers confronting severe power bottlenecks are turning to an unexpected solution: repurposed aviation engines. According to reports from industry sources, the surge in artificial intelligence infrastructure development has created unprecedented electricity demands that traditional power grids cannot immediately satisfy. Sources indicate that some operators are now installing gas turbines derived from aircraft engines to provide temporary power during construction and initial operation phases.
