Bobby Noble, senior program manager of gas turbine research and development at the Electric Power Research Institute, said even recently-announced manufacturing expansions are unlikely to "drastically reduce" wait times for new gas turbines. "It is more complex than simply increasing floor space and factory capabilities for manufacturing additional units," he said. “All in all, if more machines can be manufactured, more skilled and engineering labor will be needed [...] This is the part that really complicates the actual timeline.”

We are pleased to share that PROENERGY has signed a definitive agreement to sell approximately 1.6 GW of gas-fired capacity from its WattBridge fleet to CPS Energy for ~$1.4 billion. This transaction underscores the critical role dispatchable natural gas generation continues to play in meeting growing reliability needs, particularly in regions like ERCOT facing sustained demand growth and tightening reserve margins.

If a utility ordered a large turbine “two to three years ago, maybe you were only looking at a two-and-a-half to three year wait,” said Bobby Noble, senior program manager of gas turbine research and development at the Electric Power Research Institute. “At the level we are now — I’ve heard orders having a lead time as long as seven years, but most of them are in that five-year period," he said. https://lnkd.in/eeBexAaQ

Westinghouse is gearing up to build 10 nuclear reactors that could slash carbon emissions like a clean energy superhero! Here’s why it matters. Ever dreamed of flipping on the lights without guilt over greenhouse gases? Westinghouse's plan involves deploying AP1000 reactors, each packing a 1,000 MW punch, potentially quadrupling U.S. nuclear capacity. This means powering around 500,000 homes with zero carbon output, leveraging advanced safety features like passive cooling systems to make nuclear power more reliable and efficient. The real win here is the massive reduction in fossil fuel reliance, cutting emissions equivalent to taking millions of cars off the road. It's a scalable solution that could inspire global adoption, showing how innovative engineering turns ambitious goals into reality and accelerates our path to net-zero energy. This bold move is powering a brighter, greener tomorrow—one reactor at a time. Check out the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gSXZSBhM

ENERCON recently completed Extended Power Uprate (EPU) feasibility studies for two US nuclear facilities. ENERCON’s team of experts completed evaluations to identify the direct impact of the power uprate on approximately two dozen balance of plant (BOP) systems and programs. These evaluations reviewed previous power uprate documentation and utilized engineering judgement supplemented by previous uprate experiences to identify areas of limited operational margin. Each evaluation included recommended evaluations, models, and modifications needed to proceed with the uprate. Overall categorizations of mild, moderate, or significant were assigned to each system/program relative to the degree of impact and the likelihood changes needed to accommodate the planned power uprate. These assessments also included a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate for design, procurement, and construction costs. #ENERCON has been an industry leader in site licensing, engineering design/analysis and environmental services for the nuclear industry for over 40 years. ENERCON is consistently ranked by Engineering News Record as one of the top engineering design providers to the U.S. Nuclear Industry and is Engineer of Choice at over 90% of nuclear power plants across the US. https://lnkd.in/eKAZ3MmU #NuclearPower #CarbonFree #EngineeringServices

As renewable energy grows at record speed, the industry faces a critical challenge: maintaining grid stability when the sun sets or the wind drops. In The Speed Imperative, #MitsubishiPowerAero outlines four reasons why quick-start, grid-firming, dispatchable #power delivered by aero-derivative #gasturbines is essential to keeping electricity reliable during these fluctuations. Able to go from cold start to full power in minutes, these turbines provide the fast, flexible support needed to integrate more #renewables and accelerate decarbonization.
