Arbor Energy Secures $1 Billion Order for 5 GW of 3D-Printed Turbines from GridMarket

Arbor Energy announced a billion-dollar deal to supply GridMarket with up to 5 gigawatts of modular, 3D-printed turbines. The Halcyon turbines, based on rocket turbomachinery, will generate 25 megawatts each. The first unit is expected to connect to the grid in 2028, with production ramping up to over 100 units annually by 2030. While initially designed for biomass, the turbines can also operate on natural gas, aiming for significant CO reduction compared to traditional natural gas plants.

If fully executed, the order entails 200 units. The first turbine is slated to connect to the grid in 2028, with production expected to exceed 100 units annually by 2030, targeting 10 gigawatts of new capacity per year. Initially designed for biomass, the turbines can also utilize natural gas, which may not be carbon negative but aims for lower emissions compared to conventional natural gas plants.
