US Data Centers To Burn More Natural Gas Than Most Nations Several weeks ago, we explained why most data center developers favor on-site gas power: it boiled down to two main reasons - availability (especially since modular nuclear power for commercial 'behind the meter' use is still in the distant future) and price. Furthermore, a recent BloombergNEF analysis shows the marginal cost of operating an on-site gas plant may be below industrial elec…
The consumption of natural gas from U.S. data centres could exceed that of most countries over the next decade, driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence and uninterrupted operating facilities.
