Heavy-duty gas turbine demand in the Americas has grown more than six-fold in five years, a clear signal that the power sector is racing to deliver new generation capacity.

Bill Newsom, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Power Americas, joins Atul Arya to discuss what it takes to build power at speed as electricity demand accelerates. The conversation focuses on execution – how manufacturers, utilities and technology partners are scaling equipment supply, project delivery and infrastructure to meet rising demand while advancing decarbonization.

Key topics:

• Surging turbine demand and its signal for power markets
• Competition for manufacturing capacity and longer equipment lead times
• Standardized plant designs and partnerships to accelerate delivery
• Faster permitting and policy shifts enabling new infrastructure
• Carbon capture and hydrogen pathways supporting lower-carbon power

This episode builds up to CERAWeek 2026, March 23–27, Houston, where leaders will examine how the energy industry is scaling generation capacity, accelerating project delivery, and deploying infrastructure to meet rising electricity demand. Learn more at ceraweek.com
