Why an adjacent guide belongs on a new-equipment site
Sister newgasturbines.com owns deeper inventory-plus-stations discovery; this page stays equipment-led and light.
When used belongs beside a new programme
- COD pressure with matching frequency and fuel in verified stock.
- Bridge power while OEM-new or FX-45 slots mature.
- Phased campuses that need early MW without waiting for factory romance.
- Hybrid risk registers that also keep diesel generators visible for contingency.
When used does not belong: missing title, opaque hours, wrong Hertz, or broker-only chains. Inspection participation fee posture (USD 20,000; refunded if not as represented; 50 percent credited if buyer proceeds) exists to keep diligence serious.
Your path from first call to reliable power
Documentation and title: the adjacent diligence minimum
Used packages demand a readable ownership chain, maintenance history, and evidence of major maintenance intervals. New-surplus packages still need configuration match and storage history. Factory-new packages need slot confirmation and packaging freeze. Across all three, USP&E refuses to publish asset physical locations until NDA, passport copies, term sheet, and proof of funds clear — that discipline protects sellers and serious buyers alike.
Extreme Ownership means one EPC wrap either way — not a broker for used and a separate contractor for new.
Common questions
Is this a full new-vs-used decision matrix?
No. It is a light adjacent guide so new-equipment programmes keep used options visible without rewriting the OEM-class definition of new.
Can used gas turbines support a “new gas turbines” COD?
Sometimes as bridge or early MW when configuration and diligence close. The programme spine can remain new/OEM-class for later phases including FX-45 from 2028.
Does USP&E publish CapEx deltas between used and new?
No discounts or negotiated prices on public pages. Commercial numbers follow NDA and qualification.
When is factory-new clearly preferred?
When lender covenants, warranty narratives, or unavailable matching inventory demand a factory path — and the calendar can absorb queue risk.
How does Extreme Ownership change used vs new outcomes?
Single accountability across supply, EPC, and O&M reduces the classic failure mode: buying iron without interfaces or operators.
