Delivery lead time for a new aeroderivative gas turbine, class-level market estimate (Enverus, reported by Reuters, September 2026)

~40 moestimate

Value kindestimate — Interpret this value according to its displayed kind, scope, source, and as-of date.
ScopeA market-wide estimate for new units, not an OEM quote. GE's aero-products supply agreement (SEC filing, December 2024) put LM slot capacity as full for 2025 and 2026, and sets a 24-month lead-time goal only for orders placed after 1 January 2027. Units already in rental fleets are a separate channel: APR Energy advertises 30–90 days to deploy its own turbines.
CaveatThe widely quoted 243-week figure is Wood Mackenzie's Q2 2025 tracking for gas turbines in general, not aeroderivative cores.
