Reliable, affordable power is vital to powering data centers as any loss of power can result in devastating impacts. To ensure there is reliability of the electricity grid, EPA is providing a regulatory interpretation of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) while evaluating more substantive changes.

The boom in data centers and industrial load could strain Texas’s grid or make it stronger; Arushi Sharma Frank and I break down how flexibility, smarter planning, and better incentives can help.

Gusek is also directing the company’s expansion beyond completion services and technologies and into power and energy storage solutions. He answered questions from Senior Technology Editor Richard F. Stubbe in early May.

Driven largely by demand from businesses such as data centers and the oil and gas industry, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state’s grid operator, predicts the state’s energy needs will nearly double in six years. State Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford, worries ERCOT is not working with a full picture.

Caterpillar’s Gas Mechanical System runs on 100% natural gas and combines two components that have logged millions of hours in the field.

Nuclear energy can potentially supply baseload, carbon-free electricity and process heat to repurpose and utilize some of the Permian Basin’s roughly 25 million barrels per day of oilfield produced water. Doing so would free up local natural gas supplies for other uses, create a new water resource, and potentially, help address increasingly significant challenges with induced seismicity related to injection disposal of produced water.

Sunraycer Renewables LLC, a developer, owner and operator of clean energy power sites, on May 1 announced the execution of two Environmental Attribute Purchase Agreements with Meta Platforms for Sunraycer’s Midpoint and Gaia projects in Texas.

The tech giant will provide early-stage capital to support the development of three U.S.-based nuclear projects, each targeting a minimum of 600 megawatts (MW) of power capacity.

As AI drives increasing energy consumption in the US, natural gas looks set to fill the gap.

Natalie Sunderland, CMO of Bloom Energy, explains how partnerships are emerging as a pivotal factor to resolve the data center power dilemma.

As AI drives unprecedented data center growth, operators bypass traditional power grids, turning to on-site generation to meet urgent energy demands.

In this episode, Matt Vincent speaks with Kathleen Margolis, Client Account Director, Black & Veatch and Nic Bustamante, Chief Technology Officer at Corscale Data Centers.

More than half of the projects are gas fired generation.

TC Energy, a Calgary based natural gas and energy company, has approved a $900 million natural gas pipeline project in the Midwest of the US to serve gas-fired power plants which intend to power the region's growing data center market.

Utility regulators are bracing for a surge in electricity demand driven in large part by the opening of new, power-intensive data centers in Pennsylvania.

The new microgrid and data center energy law was passed in tandem with House Bill 2002, which is intended to simplify and speed up the project permitting process. The Power Generation and Consumption Act creates a certified microgrid program statewide to support new on-site power.
