It is not really focused on Permian power, but, c'mon...it's a discussion between Jordan Peterson and Scott Tinker! Two great minds talking energy!

Another great mind, David Blackmon, takes on Ai and natural gas.

Oh, wait, it is the first time that a conference has brought together top industry leaders to talk about power generation for data centers, oilfield electrification, crypto mining, remote midstream assets, and other industries in the Permian Basin! Check out who has already committed to being there!

Texas Critical Data Centers joint venture has entered into a non-binding agreement with PowerForward Energy Solutions to provide 250MW of on-site generation capacity.

A startup company led by former CEO of Talen Energy and former head of Microsoft’s data center efforts is betting on the use of natural gas and battery energy storage to provide data centers with on-site power.

Eaton and Siemens Energy leaders have signed an agreement aimed at accelerating data center development with grid-independent power systems.

The Clinton Clean Energy Center to support Meta’s clean energy goals and operations in the region with 1,121 megawatts of emissions-free nuclear energy.

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

The purpose of these events is to address questions and assess community concerns regarding a proposed large-scale transmission line that is planned for construction across an eight-county area of the state.

AI data center developers are turning to behind-the-meter solutions to sidestep grid bottlenecks and meet growing energy demand. Natural gas-rich regions like the Permian Basin are being leveraged for on-site generation, creating new revenue streams.

Oil and gas operators are turning to resilient, low-emission microgrids that integrate renewables, energy storage, and smart load controls to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and central grids.

Andrew Schaper does a great job explaining the split responsibilities of Transmission System Providers (TSPs), Generation and Transmission cooperatives (G&Ts), and Distribution System Providers (DSPs) in Texas ERCOT. Great information.

Researchers forecast rising electricity demand from AI despite efficiency gains. What actually surprised me is that AI has not already surpassed bitcoin!

In a research note, Greg Miller stated that with a “critical power shortage on the horizon, blockchain-focused companies are uniquely positioned.”
