US AI to power gas growth
Datacentres to drive demand for gas and position the fuel as more than just a bridging solution
Gas is poised to be one of two big winners in the rising competition to provide reliable, 24/7 power generation to datacentres in the US and around the world. The nature of the rapidly evolving field means gas will likely not be just a temporary solution to a more permanent future powered by nuclear or another aspirational fuel source. As the number and size of power-hungry AI-related datacentres continue to expand, questions related to how their electricity needs will be satisfied become increasingly important to all stakeholders. Datacentre developers in some areas are discovering local power grids cannot be relied on to fill their needs and are developing plans for workable alternative so
