What does the wave of generator procurement by tech giants signal?

Recently, news broke that the AI department of a well-known company reached a gas turbine supply agreement with a Korean manufacturer to power a new generation of AI data centers. This seemingly ordinary business purchase actually reflects deep changes in the energy industry.

Speaking of gas turbines, these have been almost forgotten by the market over the past decade. But starting in 2024, the situation has dramatically reversed. Why? Because the explosion of AI data centers has created an unprecedented demand for stable, efficient power supply.

How tight is the capacity of gas turbines? This is a question worth paying attention to. In the traditional industrial chain, the gas turbine supply chain faces multiple constraints—long production cycles, high technical barriers, and limited global capacity. When AI chip manufacturers and data center operators rush to buy, supply bottlenecks immediately become apparent. This not only affects the expansion plans of individual companies but could also reshape the entire energy infrastructure industry. In other words, whoever can secure stable power supply will hold the key advantage in the AI era.

We are now in an era where energy bottlenecks are critical; whoever has the electricity is the boss. --- Gas turbines haven't been in demand for ten years, and now they're becoming popular again? Basically, it's still AI consuming too much electricity. --- Korean manufacturers have made a killing this round; production capacity has become gold. --- So in the end, it's still about whose power supply is more stable; computing power isn't that valuable anymore? --- The energy bottleneck has stifled many AI projects; it's completely invisible. --- It's hilarious—after such a long chip war, electricity is still more scarce than chips. --- Why isn't anyone talking about nuclear? Gas turbines can only run for a few years. --- This is the truth of the Web3 era: all cryptocurrencies have to make way for electricity costs. --- Whoever controls gas turbine capacity will be the next energy oligarch; worth paying attention to. --- It feels like traditional energy has completely turned around this time; green energy Silicon Valley is a bit panicked.
