Three OEMs make nearly all heavy-duty gas turbines. Slot reservations stretch years out and set the pace for new firm generation.

Gas supply→Turbine→Plant→Grid

What would prove us wrong. Weakens if turbine slot reservations are cancelled or pricing per kW falls.

When the grid can't deliver in time, campuses build their own: recip engines, fuel cells and aeroderivatives as a bridge — at higher cost per MWh.

Gas→Recip / fuel cell→Microgrid→Campus

What would prove us wrong. Weakens if interconnection speeds up enough that onsite power loses its time-to-power premium.
