U.S. gas-fired power capacity planned to directly power data centers has increased by 50% in six months to 378 GW, with Texas leading this surge. The expansion is challenged by turbine supply bottlenecks, financing uncertainties, and local opposition, leaving the actual buildout scale unclear.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Surging U.S. gas power plans tied to data centers create urgent demand for fast turbine alternatives and financing solutions. If you supply gas turbines, engines, or associated services, expect new sales opportunities spurred by capacity backlogs and market delays.
