Unit sizes, frequency and $/kW from the EMBR turbine reference (Gas Turbine World 2025). Existing peaker fleets skew toward aeroderivative and E-class machines — plan N+1 for redundancy.

Illustrative model built on typical industry ranges. Figures are for education only — not a quote, an offer, or investment advice.

Source power faster

Talk to EMBR about matching your load to existing turbine assets and sourcing power on an accelerated timeline.

WHY IT MATTERS

Decisions worth millions shouldn’t rest on a spreadsheet guess.

Real power assumptions

Load, PUE and utilization modeled the way operators actually build — not idealized nameplate figures.

Lease vs. capex clarity
