The United States is outpacing China in building natural gas-fired power capacity, with 378 GW planned or under construction, half earmarked for data centers supporting AI growth. Supply chain constraints like turbine availability and local regulatory hurdles remain key challenges.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Natural gas power capacity is scaling aggressively in the US to meet AI data center demand, creating procurement opportunities for turbine and pipeline suppliers this quarter. Your chances improve by targeting states like Texas with large gas reserves and construction projects.
