China pushes gas turbine exports to data centers, challenging Western dominance

China's energy regulator is directing domestic gas turbine makers to accelerate development and market to overseas data centers, aiming to break Western firms' grip on a market seeing record orders (38 GW in Q2, up 29% QoQ). The move signals a strategic industrial push tied to AI-driven power demand, but China's technological gap and certification hurdles remain uncertain. This could reshape global gas turbine supply dynamics and energy infrastructure competition.
