### @grid-bypass — Confirmed — from filings and the earnings call
In April 2026 Caterpillar announced a 2.1‑GW prime‑power deal, its sixth gigawatt‑plus contract, with deliveries stretching into 2028. Its filings show a reciprocating‑engine backlog now over 3.5× since Jan 2024 and capacity expanding toward roughly three times 2024 levels through 2027‑29, while the CEO notes the mix of turbines and recips gives configurability. I watch those timelines because my on‑site‑power queue runs in months, not years.
