Global demand for electricity is expected to grow significantly over the coming decades. As economies expand, data centers multiply, and electrification accelerates, the need for reliable power generation continues to rise.  With that growth comes a parallel demand for the equipment that makes electricity possible — particularly turbines.  The challenge facing utilities and developers today is not simply demand, but supply . Industry analysts estimate that new turbine orders

The second wave of the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s and early 1900s was driven by major improvements in turbine design. Among the most influential innovations were those developed by Lester Pelton, whose high-efficiency turbine designs, combined with electric generators, made large-scale hydroelectric production possible. These advancements built on centuries of engineering efforts to harness the energy of flowing water. That work reached a turning point in 1896 wh

Long before the word turbine entered the vocabulary in 1822, civilizations were already harnessing the principles behind it. Ancient waterwheels and windmills converted flowing water and wind into usable mechanical power, grinding grain, pumping water, and supporting early industry. These simple rotary machines laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most transformative technologies in human history.  At its core, a turbine is a rotary device that converts kinet

The United States has been a global leader in nuclear power since the industry’s birth in the 1950s. Today, 94 commercial reactors are operating nationwide—and that number is poised to grow. While 13 new plants are in the planning or construction phases, much of the industry’s attention is focused elsewhere: the restart of reactors once thought permanently offline. Five previously shut-down reactors are now being evaluated for restart, a notable development given that the U.S
