Analysis
- Arbor Energy has secured a significant order for its modular turbines, which utilize rocket turbine technology, from GridMarket.
- The deal, valued in the single-digit billions of dollars, involves up to 5 gigawatts of capacity, potentially representing 200 turbines.
- Arbor's Halcyon turbines are 3D printed and can generate 25 megawatts each, with plans to connect the first to the grid in 2028.
- The technology can utilize biomass (producing carbon-negative power) or natural gas, with plans to sequester CO2.
- The demand for power, particularly from data centers and industrial users, is driving this large-scale order, highlighting a gap in traditional turbine manufacturing capacity.
