“Which is typically, like, 20 week lead times on Switchgear. That was kind of what the market was before COVID. Today, it's more like 60 to 70 weeks.”

“It's like a 25 to 30% premium to install the switchgear you need to be able to island.”

“On the technology side, I think the biggest pain point right now comes back to switchgear, right, which is integrating a new switchgear into an existing facility has always been more of an art than a science”

“The five to seven years is the timeline to get new gas turbines, if you're ordering them, and it's close to the timeline to get new transformers and other, and switchgear and stuff like that. Like, we're all in the, like, three to five or maybe seven year time…”

“Anything you want to order today is probably going to take three plus years in the case of gas turbines, probably more like five years to be able to get your hands on. Anything you order today, whether it's a turbine or a transformer or just the, you know, alu…”

“Conductor is, like, twice as expensive. So, like, basic aluminum, steel-reinforced conductor. Transformers are two-plus times more expensive. Switchgear is two times more expensive. Gas power plants are two to three times more expensive.”
