Global Energy Monitor According to new data in the Global Oil and Gas Plant Tracker2, the U.S. nearly tripled its gas-fired capacity in development in 2025

According to Global Energy Monitor's Global Oil and Gas Plant Tracker, the U.S. nearly tripled its gas-fired power capacity in development in 2025, reaching 252 GW — with more than a third slated to directly power data centers on-site. Texas accounts for nearly a third of the planned buildout, with 40 GW specifically designated for data centers. The report highlights how AI-driven energy demand is fueling a massive fossil gas infrastructure expansion, with turbine supply constraints potentially bottlenecking growth through 2030.
