We are the #1 provider of global energy transition news, events and content worldwide.
The U.S. energy sector is undergoing a seismic shift. Demand for gas turbines is surging, fueled by the explosive growth of AI and hyperscale data centres. In response, industry giants like Mitsubishi Power, GE Vernova, and Siemens Energy are scaling up production by as much as 35%.
Why now?
But there’s a catch. The supply chain is under pressure, from generator shortages to skilled labor gaps. EPC firms are racing to deliver modular, fast-deployable solutions. Meanwhile, tech giants like Google and Microsoft face rising emissions, challenging their net-zero goals.
What's next?
Two decarbonization paths are emerging:
And that’s just the beginning.
From SMRs and clean hydrogen investments to mobile turbine units and EPC partnerships, the full story reveals how the sector is adapting to meet demand while staying on track for climate goals.
