AI Data Centers Turn to Used Jet Engines for Power
AI data center developers are turning to used gas turbines and retired jet engines as new power turbines take six years to deliver in the United States. This is due to a shortage of new gas turbines, high prices, pollution concerns, and permitting delays, which threaten the expansion plans of the AI industry. Some companies are buying refurbished machines, while others are converting aircraft-engine technology into generators that can run alongside their computing facilities.
