Oil and gas producer Chevron said on Tuesday it plans to build natural gas-based power plants next to data centers in the U.S., as energy demand to support the growth of artificial intelligence is expected to boom.

Oil company Chevron is partnering with Engine No. 1 and GE Vernova to create natural gas power plants in the United States that will be linked to data centers in order to support increased demand for electricity at these centers,

Chevron and GE Vernova announced they will be joining forces to develop power solutions for data centers running on natural gas. Energy giant Chevron and gas turbine maker GE Vernova said they aim to establish a multi gigawatt-scale power plant in conjunction with Engine No.
