FTAI Power launched Dec 2025 — only 3 months ago. First unit expected Q4 2026. Binding contracts typically follow demonstrated product capability. Data center customers are sophisticated and may wait for Mod-1 delivery before committing. However, AI data center demand is intense and grid delays create urgency. 45%.

The competitive landscape includes established players (GE Vernova, Siemens Energy) with proven products. FTAI's 25MW unit is a new entrant in a market that values reliability. Early-stage customers face technology risk. Letter of intent likely but binding contract with committed volumes is harder. 40%.

FTAI's unique advantage is access to 1,000+ CFM56 engines — the supply constraint that limits competitors. If the technology works, the supply advantage could drive rapid customer commitments. The question definition excludes non-binding MOUs, which makes this harder. 50%.
