Thomassen Amcot Holdings LLC (TAH) has finalised the purchase of a 160-megawatt (MW) steam turbine generator from TC Energy. The equipment, which has never been used, is stored in Canada awaiting possible relocation. This type of infrastructure can be integrated into electricity production projects requiring rapid commissioning.
A market seeking available equipment
In several regions of the United States, electricity demand exceeds installed capacity, prompting industry players to seek immediately operational solutions. Acquiring pre-manufactured but unused equipment offers an alternative to the long lead times associated with new infrastructure production and installation.
TAH, which specialises in identifying and acquiring idle energy assets, could thus address urgent needs by redeploying this turbine in a market where growing demand is putting pressure on existing capacity.
Optimising underutilised infrastructure
The acquisition of this steam turbine reflects a growing trend in the energy sector: the reallocation of underutilised assets. This approach helps reduce investment requirements while maximising the use of existing equipment.
TAH, a wholly owned subsidiary of a group operating in more than 60 countries, continues its strategy of optimising energy infrastructure by facilitating their reintegration into production projects.
A solution to strengthen electricity production
Such equipment can be integrated into existing power plants or used to modernise ageing installations. In a context where energy supply must be secured quickly, the reallocation of industrial assets helps avoid extended delays related to the design and construction of new units.
