Gas turbines, reciprocating gas sets and complete combined-cycle blocks from the secondary market — zero-hour, low-hour and preserved units, plus operating stations sold whole. 50 Hz and 60 Hz, 8 MW to 2,310 MW. We run the book on both sides: sellers get matched, qualified demand; buyers get capacity that already exists instead of a slot in an OEM queue.
Two minutes, non-binding. We come back within one business day with what matches, or with a straight answer that nothing does.

The constraint
The turbines exist. They are just not in OEM queue.
Posting a requirement is free and non-binding. The value is in being on the book when the right unit surfaces, because these assets move privately and they move fast.
Three manufacturers — GE Vernova, Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries — control effectively all new heavy-duty gas turbine supply. AI and data-centre load arrived faster than any of them can add capacity. Combined-cycle project lead times have gone from about three and a half years in 2023 to roughly five years today, and as long as seven on some heavy frames. Siemens Energy is carrying a 69 GW firm backlog with lead times of three years and up. Capacity expansion is real but slow: GE Vernova is targeting 20 GW annualised output this quarter, 24 GW in 2028 and 30 GW by 2030. None of that helps a project that needs power in 2027.
And that is only the heavy-duty frame market. The same pressure pushes buyers straight into everything adjacent — Wärtsilä reciprocating gas sets, Pratt & Whitney aeroderivatives, Solar and Kawasaki industrial units — where the queue is shorter but the competition for whatever is actually available is not.
Meanwhile there is real, deployable plant sitting idle. Cancelled offshore developments withnever-installed skids. Preserved Wärtsilä sets from projects that never reached commissioning. Pratt & Whitney units released when a utility retired a peaking station. Cogeneration plants preserved to OEM instruction when a host site closed. Aeroderivative fleets released when an IPP restructured. Whole combined-cycle blocks where the owner would rather sell the station than run it. This equipment does not appear in any OEM backlog number, and most of it never reaches a public listing.
That is the book we run. Not a classifieds page — a matched order book where both sides are screened before anyone is introduced.
How We Work
We source both sides of the trade
Most turbine marketplaces are a listings board. Someone posts a machine, waits, and hopes the right buyer wanders past. We run it the other way round: every listing has an active sourcing effort behind it, and every mandate is worked against inventory that is not publicly advertised.
Sell side — we find the buyers
Your asset gets a buyer universe built around it
When equipment or a site comes onto our book we build the buyer universe for that specific asset: the operators, IPPs, developers and industrial users for whom that frequency, that capacity band and that location actually work. Research, verification and direct outreach are run in-house through our own deal platform — we do not wait for inbound.

Buy side — we find the equipment
Your requirement gets worked against unlisted inventory
When a buyer posts a requirement we work it against inventory that is not on any public listing site: asset owners, liquidators, MRO and parts houses, decommissioning projects, and IPPs sitting on plant they have written down. If the match is not on our book today we go and source it.
Asset owners & IPPs
Liquidators
MRO & parts houses
Decommissioning projects
Fleets aggregated across owners
Fleet requirements — five to ten identical units, which is what serious data-centre buyers actually need — are aggregated across multiple owners rather than declined. Both sides are screened before either sees the other. Your identity and your asset stay private until you approve a specific introduction.
the book
What is on the book now
A representative view. The full book is shared under NDA, and roughly half of what we work is never publicly listed at all. Capacity, hours and condition are as stated by the asset owner and are verified during diligence, not before.
What is being asked for
Live mandates on the book today, described in the terms the buyers themselves use.
01Multi-gigawatt fleet programmes
2–3 GW to be filled inside three years, bought in fleets of five to ten identical units, across both 50 Hz Europe and 60 Hz US deployment.
02Hyperscaler-backed sourcing
Aeroderivative fleets — LM6000 · LM2500 · TM2500 class — bought in matched sets, nine-figure budgets, direct principal-to-principal only.
03Data-centre power developers
Several hundred MW of reciprocating gas capacity for 2028–2029 delivery windows.
04IPP and project pipelines
Repeat 200–500 MW project requirements, 50 Hz, seeking volume of mid-size units or complete combined-cycle blocks rather than single machines.
05Family offices & industrial buyers
Single-unit and paired acquisitions where a specific frame and hour profile is already identified.
Buying: capacity, frequency, timeline, site location and how many units. Selling: what you hold, where it sits and its condition. Two minutes, no commitment, nothing public.
02
We screen and match
We verify the entity and the mandate on both sides, then work it against the book and against inventory that is not publicly listed. You get a response within one business day — either what matches, or a straight answer that nothing does yet and what we are doing about it.
03
Introduction under NDA
Once both sides clear screening, we introduce under a mutual NDA. The seller controls every disclosure: specification pack, inspection reports, hours records and photographs are released in stages, on the seller's approval.
04
Inspection, contract, close
Physical inspection, borescope and hours verification, then SPA, escrow and logistics. Buyers and sellers use their own technical and legal advisers. We stay in the transaction through to commissioning and are paid on close.
List an Asset
Holding power plant you are not going to run?
Preserved cogeneration units, an aeroderivative fleet released from a restructuring, never-installed skids from a cancelled project, or an operating station you would rather sell whole. Buyers on this book are screened before they ever see your asset, and the demand side is genuinely short — multi-gigawatt fleet programmes and data-centre power developers are actively looking for exactly this class of equipment right now.
Zero-hour, low-hour, preserved, ex-site and currently operating plant
Single units, matched fleets, and complete combined-cycle stations sold whole
50 Hz and 60 Hz, all regions
Buyer entity and mandate verified before any introduction
Your identity and your asset stay private until you approve the match
Listing costs nothing — we are paid on a closed transaction
Before You Post
Questions we get first
Is this a listings site or a broker?
Neither, exactly. We run an order book. Requirements and inventory come onto the book, we screen both sides, and we actively source against whichever side is short. We do not take equipment onto our own balance sheet and resell it, and we do not publish your asset to the open internet and wait.
Do you only handle gas turbines?
No. Gas turbines and aeroderivatives, reciprocating gas and dual-fuel sets, steam turbines, complete combined-cycle blocks and whole operating stations. GE, Siemens, Wärtsilä, Pratt & Whitney, Kawasaki and Solar are among the brands on the book. Assets today run from 8.7 MW single sets to a 2,310 MW combined-cycle portfolio.
How do I know the hours and condition are real?
You do not take our word for it, and you should not. Capacity, hours and condition are as stated by the asset owner. Verification — inspection reports, borescope, hours records, OEM preservation documentation — happens during diligence, with your own technical adviser, before you commit to anything. Where third-party inspection already exists we say so and we hand over the report.
What does it cost?
Posting a requirement or listing an asset is free. We are paid a success fee on a closed transaction.
Can I stay anonymous?
Yes, and most parties do. Nothing is published with your name on it. Counterparties see the specification, not the owner. Identity is disclosed only when both sides have cleared screening and you have approved that specific introduction.
Who is Acquire.Fi?
An M&A and secondaries advisory firm working across frontier technology, digital assets and energy infrastructure since 2021, with entities in Singapore and Panama. The energy desk is run by Jan. Referral fees are paid on closed introductions.
order book
Post your requirement
Non-binding. We come back within one business day with what matches on the book, or with qualified buyer interest if you are selling. Everything on this form stays between you and the Acquire.Fi energy desk. Counterparties see nothing until screening is complete on both sides and you approve the match.
