| The gas turbine is considered the workhorse of power generation and offers rapidly dispatchable power combined with reliability, operational flexibility and the ability to use low-carbon fuel blends. Gas turbines will be increasingly needed in fast-ramping applications as renewables account for greater power on the grid. In the face of increasing electricity demand, buyers of F-Class, advanced-class and aeroderivative gas turbines are experiencing lead times not seen since the gas boom of the early 2000s. |
