Arbor Energy Nets Single-Digit Billions Order for 5 GW of Rocket Turbines
Arbor Energy secured an order for 5 gigawatts of its 25-megawatt Halcyon turbines from GridMarket, representing 200 units valued in the single-digit billions. It plans to connect its first unit in 2028 and scale to over 100 turbines per year by 2030, targeting 10 GW capacity annually.
1. GridMarket Order Details
Arbor Energy sold up to 5 gigawatts of its 25 MW Halcyon turbines to GridMarket, equating to 200 units in a deal valued in the single-digit billions of dollars. Reported willingness to pay exceeds $100 per megawatt-hour.
2. Rocket-Based Turbine Technology
The Halcyon turbines leverage rocket turbomachinery and 3D-printed components to deliver high performance. Designed for biomass or natural gas, the process yields pure CO2 suitable for underground sequestration when burning organic feedstocks.
3. Production Timeline and Capacity Goals
Arbor plans to connect its first turbine to the grid in 2028, ramp production to over 100 units per year by 2030 and ultimately achieve 10 GW of new capacity annually.
