Energy demand from data centers is projected to double by 2028, straining an aging U.S. power grid that struggles to expand quickly. Off-grid solutions are gaining traction, with natural gas emerging as the preferred choice due to its abundance, affordability, and rapid deployment compared to nuclear or solar projects.

Recent deals highlight the surge in natural gas demand. Talen Energy's nuclear supply agreement with Amazon Web Services underscores alternative approaches, while Meta and Amazon explore renewables. Yet, the five-year timeline for natural gas plants outpaces decades-long renewable projects.
