Against the backdrop of the booming generative artificial intelligence sector, the electricity consumption of data centers has witnessed a dramatic spike. This surge has, in turn, fueled a rapid expansion in the construction of gas-fired power generation facilities. According to the most recent analysis, the global scale of gas-fired power generation projects currently under construction is projected to experience a 31% year-on-year increase by 2025. Nearly a quarter of this new installed capacity will originate from the United States. The U.S. has now overtaken China in terms of the scale of newly added gas-fired power generation projects, securing the top spot on the global stage. Notably, over one-third of the newly added installed capacity in the U.S. is anticipated to directly cater to the power needs of data centers.
