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.

Bottlenecks & Breakthroughs: Getting Power Projects Built

January 21, 2026 | 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM |  Exhibit Hall 1

Power projects are taking longer than ever to build—not because of technology, but due to a confluence of external headwinds. Supply chain bottlenecks are delaying delivery of critical equipment like gas turbines and transformers. Interconnection queues are overflowing. Permitting remains slow and uncertain. And on top of it all, evolving trade policy and shifting legislative priorities are clouding the long-term outlook.
