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.

Gas turbines are making a comeback, and it's truly amazing. Ten years ago, no one wanted them, and now with AI coming in, it's directly causing a supply chain crisis. This is the trend!

Gas turbines are turning their fortunes around, really driven by the AI wave, to the point where the supply chain has run out of stock... --- Wait, does this mean whoever controls electricity also controls the AI era? That’s too critical, we should have seen this coming a long time ago. --- Long production cycles, high technical barriers... No wonder the competition is so fierce now. This is exactly the next choke point. --- Korean manufacturers have taken action. Should China also respond accordingly? Otherwise, it will be on the defensive again. --- To put it simply, it’s still about electricity. No matter the AI revolution, it all comes back to the most basic energy issues—that’s the real deal. --- Who would have thought that things forgotten for ten years are now becoming hot commodities? Is a supply chain restructuring about to begin? --- In this case, the traditional energy industry might have a chance to turn around? It seems promising from an investment perspective... --- So, should we now buy gas turbine stocks and bottom fish? Haha. --- Again, supply bottlenecks and capacity shortages—feels like the entire industry is in a buying frenzy.

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.
