Behind-the-meter gas-turbine power-as-a-service for data centers — co-located dispatchable gas generation (with optional CCUS)
Opportunity: Chevron–GE Vernova 7×7HA (~4 GW) 'power-as-a-service' deal for U.S. data centers (7edebeb1); ExxonMobil ~1.5 GW behind-the-meter natural gas + CCUS targeting first power 2028 (b096738b); Texas Energy Fund approved >$5B in low-interest loans for dispatchable gas (7e3ad9f8). Grid interconnect lead times >10 years per A2 discussion.
Trend-defining new use case: oil majors and turbine OEMs are productizing 'turbine + fuel + CCUS' as a behind-the-meter package for hyperscalers. The A1 evidence is thin on this specific form factor — bets are visible in facts and public discussion, but the org build-out in this jobs slice is still tied to traditional utility/IPP customers.
Auxiliary equipment for gas-turbine plants — BOP / auxiliary mechanical equipment
Opportunity: Implied by MHI's doubled FY2024 frame-turbine orderbook (e23f669f) and the 5–7 year prime-mover lead times (6d2da940): every shipped JAC drags BOP scope (chillers, condensers, inlet/exhaust auxiliaries) behind it.
Quiet but real adjacent demand pocket — duplicated 'Mechanical Engineer for Auxiliary Equipment' posting plus Chillers/CDU principals reads as MHI staffing the BOP scope of large-frame orders. Less glamorous than the turbine itself but the same supply-chain wave.
