The market is projected to reach USD 11.46 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 16.39% from 2025. **How fast is the Data Center Gas Turbine Market growing?** 16.39% a year from 2025 to 2035, after 110.69% a year from 2020 to 2025, because turbine capacity commissioned at data centers rises from 1,300 MW in 2025 to 4,700 MW in 2035 as campuses build their own power. **Why are data centers using gas turbines?** 1,300 MW of gas turbines were commissioned at data centers in 2025 because grid connections for loads above 100 MW take years. Onsite turbines let an AI campus energise first and connect to the grid later. **Which gas turbine type leads the data center market?** 48.0% of 2025 value, or USD 1.21 billion, goes to aeroderivative gas turbines, which start in about five minutes. Heavy-duty frame turbines grow fastest at 21.99% a year as campuses above 1 GW buy utility-class units. **How much does a data center gas turbine cost per kW?** About USD 1,900 per kW installed in 2025, 70% turbine package and 30% EPC (DC Market Insights estimate). EIA assumes USD 2,275 per kW for an aeroderivative turbine and USD 1,158 per kW for a frame unit in 2025 dollars. **How much onsite gas power will data centers use by 2030?** 15 to 27 GW of onsite natural gas may power data centres by 2030, mostly in the United States, according to the IEA. DC Market Insights places 21,730 MW of gas turbines at data centers by the end of 2030. **Which region leads the Data Center Gas Turbine Market?** 88.0% of 2025 value, or USD 2.21 billion, is spent in North America. Latin America grows fastest at 36.71% a year, and India is the fastest-growing large country at 36.71% a year. **Who are the leading data center gas turbine companies?** About 36% of 2025 value is held by GE Vernova, which reported data center orders above USD 5 billion in the first half of 2026 (DC Market Insights assessment). Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, Solar Turbines and Baker Hughes follow. **What rules apply to gas turbines at data centers?** Since 15 January 2026, new US turbines fall under EPA subpart KKKKa NOx limits, and Executive Order 14318 speeds permits for projects above 100 MW. EU plants above 20 MW of thermal input join the EU Emissions Trading System. **Why do Data Center Gas Turbine Market estimates differ?** USD 5.84 billion in 2026 is the DC Market Insights figure for turbines tied to one data center campus. Estimates that add utility plants for general load, reciprocating engines or fuel and electricity sales are larger. ## Dataset | Series | Value | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | | Market size 2025 | 2,510 | USD million | | Revenue CAGR | 16.39 | % | | Market size 2035 | 11,460 | USD million | ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the size of the Data Center Gas Turbine Market in 2026?
