Data Centers Look to Old Airplane Engines for Power
Data centers are turning to modified airplane engines to meet their power needs, with ProEnergy's PE6000 gas turbine engine, based on the GE Aerospace CF6-80C2 turbofan engine, capable of generating 48 megawatts of electricity. This move comes as data center demand continues to rise, driving the need for innovative power solutions. The use of these modified turbofans showcases a creative approach to addressing the energy demands of the data center industry.
