**Note that price is Per Unit
The refurbished GE Tandem-Twin-8695 steam turbine is a 6 MW, 60 Hz industrial generator set manufactured by General Electric in 1957 and now available exclusively through USP&E Global. Operating at 4,160 volts and fuelled entirely by steam, this unit has been refurbished to meet the demands of continuous base-load power generation and represents one of the most dependable configurations in the legacy steam turbine market. Hours are to be confirmed through technical review, ensuring full transparency before any transaction proceeds. Located in North America and listed under stock number USP010881, this refurbished GE Tandem-Twin-8695 steam turbine is an exclusive USP&E asset that cannot be sourced through any other channel. Buyers searching for proven, refurbished steam generation capacity in the 6 MW range will not find this configuration, in this condition, with this level of technical backing, anywhere else in the global secondhand power market. USP&E owns, controls, or holds exclusivity on assets totalling over 600 MW across its inventory, and this unit is one of those exclusive holdings, available only through uspeglobal.com.
The refurbished GE Tandem-Twin-8695 steam turbine is purpose-built for supplying reliable, continuous base-load power to utilities, mines, independent power producers, and heavy industrial complexes. The tandem-compound configuration, a hallmark of GE's mid-century industrial engineering, couples high-pressure and low-pressure turbine sections on a single shaft, producing smooth, stable rotational output well suited to grid-synchronised generation at 60 Hz. At 4,160 volts, this unit integrates cleanly into existing medium-voltage distribution networks common in North American utility, mining, and industrial infrastructure. The base-load steam power for utilities and mines use case is precisely where this machine was designed to operate, running continuously at rated capacity with minimal cycling, making it a strong candidate for captive power schemes, industrial cogeneration, and utility-scale peaking backup. General Electric's engineering heritage in steam turbine design is well established, and the Tandem-Twin series in particular was produced during a period when GE set global benchmarks for durability and thermal performance. A refurbished unit of this type, when properly commissioned and integrated, can deliver decades of additional service life with the right operations and maintenance programme in place.
USP&E Global is a turnkey power plant EPC contractor with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45 countries, and the company brings that full-spectrum capability to every asset in its inventory, including this refurbished GE Tandem-Twin-8695 steam turbine. From site assessment and civil works through to mechanical installation, electrical integration, steam circuit commissioning, and final load testing, USP&E can manage the complete engineering, procurement, and construction scope for buyers who need a ready-to-operate solution rather than a standalone equipment purchase. For operators in frontier and emerging markets where local technical capacity is limited, USP&E's power station O&M frontier markets expertise ensures that assets are not only commissioned correctly but maintained to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards over the long term. Long-term service agreements, operator training programmes, spare parts procurement, and planned maintenance schedules are all available as part of a comprehensive O&M package. USP&E is also 100 percent OFAC and FCPA compliant, making the company a trusted counterparty for government utilities, development finance institutions, and private equity-backed IPPs operating in regulated or politically sensitive markets. The exclusive power equipment only at USP&E principle means that when a buyer engages with USP&E on this unit, they are dealing directly with the controlling party, eliminating broker layers, reducing transaction risk, and accelerating the path from enquiry to delivery. The steam turbine for heavy industrial power segment in particular benefits from this direct-to-owner model, as technical due diligence, inspection access, and pricing negotiation are all handled without intermediary delays.
