Turn Idle Assets into Profit Engines: How Refurbished Steam Turbines Power Global Growth
As energy transition accelerates worldwide, pre-owned industrial turbines emerge as the smart solution bridging power gaps and cutting costs for emerging economies.
Market Pulse: The Great Equipment Migration
Global energy shifts are unlocking unprecedented opportunities:
Europe’s Green Wave: 15 GW thermal power assets decommissioned in 2023, releasing high-quality turbines
Africa’s Power Hunger: 43 countries face chronic electricity shortages, with 600+ million people underserved
Maritime Upgrades: 25+ steam-turbine LNG carriers scrapped in 2025, flooding markets with robust machinery
"Refurbished turbines cut project costs by 50% and deployment time by 70% versus new builds." – Global Energy Review 2025
