Gas Power Projects for Data Centers in the US Reach 189 GW in 2026
The capacity of gas-fired power plants for data centers in the US has surged to 189 GW in H1 2026, nearly doubling from 97 GW at the end of 2025. This significant growth reflects a 94.8% increase, though completion faces challenges due to turbine supply chain issues.

As of the first half of 2026, gas-fired power projects for data centers in the US have reached a capacity of 189 GW, nearly double the 97 GW reported at the end of 2025. This growth represents 50% of the total gas generation projects, which rose to 378 GW from 252 GW, marking a 50% increase. However, uncertainties linger regarding project completion due to turbine supply bottlenecks, with anticipated delivery delays of
