Solar Turbines (a Caterpillar company based in San Diego) holds approximately 48% market share of gas turbine sales in the critical 20–30 MW range used to drive pipeline compressors — the engines that literally push natural gas through the interstate pipeline system. If Solar Turbines' San Diego manufacturing were disrupted, replacement compressor units would require 18+ month lead times and come from only GE or Siemens as alternatives.
