Research the market and power requirement

Use data center market intelligence to review dated market evidence and the questions behind a site’s power requirement. Start with Northern Virginia for the relationship between market measures, the utility service plan and phased procurement.

Return to the equipment categories to identify the model and configuration required for the project. A market or operator reference does not establish that its equipment is available to purchase.

Pricing Framework

Equipment pricing is organized into four tiers: New OEM, Gray Market, Refurbished, and Used. Each tier reflects a different combination of warranty, lead time, and risk. New OEM orders enter the manufacturer's production queue, which on large gas turbines currently extends years out. Gray market units are unused inventory released by cancelled or rescheduled projects, priced on availability rather than condition. Refurbished units carry documented overhaul work, sometimes under an OEM programme with warranty terms comparable to new. Used units ship as-is and price accordingly. Every category is published as a midpoint with a 10 to 90 percentile band in the Pricing Index rather than as a single number, because the spread is the information a buyer needs.

What a Dossier Contains

Each model page is built from OEM datasheets, certified test reports under ISO 8528, IEC 60076, or IEEE C37, and field service bulletins. Specifications cite a datasheet URL or the governing standard, condition and inspection criteria are listed per tier, and known failure points are recorded where the public record supports them. No model is indexed until an editor approves the research, and only official manufacturer photography is used. Sourcing rules are documented on the methodology page.

Choosing a Category

If the generation approach is still open, start with the Power Intelligence Tool, which compares fuel cells, aeroderivative gas turbines, reciprocating gas engines, diesel generators, and solar plus storage on twenty-year net present value, time to power, and fleet availability computed from unit count and forced-outage rate. If the technology is settled, go directly to the category hub — each carries a comparison table across every published model and a selection-logic section explaining which specification decides the choice.

How SecondWatt Works

Buyers research equipment models and submit requirements with capacity, timeline, and site constraints attached. Owners submit surplus and decommissioned assets as private records, not public listings, with identity, exact location, and re-identifying condition detail masked until SecondWatt makes the introduction. SecondWatt does not manufacture equipment or represent any OEM. Submit equipment, arrange acquisition financing, read published analysis, or see how mediation works.
