“Jet Engine Shortages Threaten AI Data Center Expansion As Wait Times Stretch Into 2030”

General Electric's #LM6000 and #LM2500 series both derived from the #CF6 jet engine family have quickly become the default choice for AI developers looking to spin up serious power in a hurry. #OpenAI's infrastructure partner, #Crusoe Energy, recently ordered 29 #LM2500XPRESS units to supply roughly one gigawatt of temporary generation for Stargate, effectively creating a mobile jet-fueled grid inside a West Texas field. Meanwhile, #ProEnergy, which retrofits used CF6-80C2 engines into trailer-mounted 48-megawatt units, confirmed that it has delivered more than 1 gigawatt of its #PE6000 systems to just two data center clients. These engines, which were once strapped to Boeing 767s, now spend their lives keeping inference moving.
