BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 29. Chevron U.S.A.
Inc. and investment firm Engine No. 1 have announced a partnership
to develop large-scale power solutions for U.S. data centers using
domestically sourced natural gas, Trend reports.
The collaboration, in conjunction with GE Vernova, aims to build
multi-gigawatt co-located power plants and data centers, with the
first projects planned in the U.S. Southeast, Midwest, and
West.
The initiative will utilize GE Vernova's 7HA natural gas
turbines to provide up to 4 GW of power-enough for 3–3.5 million
homes-while avoiding initial reliance on the existing grid. The
projects are also designed to integrate lower-carbon solutions like
carbon capture and renewable energy in the future.
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth emphasized that the initiative aligns
with a vision for strengthening U.S. energy security and AI
development, while Engine No. 1 founder Chris James highlighted the
role of energy in securing America's leadership in artificial
intelligence. GE Vernova's CEO Scott Strazik underscored the
company's commitment to supporting data center growth with
innovative energy solutions.
With AI and cloud computing driving surging energy demand, the
partnership aims to provide scalable, cost-effective power while
fostering job creation and industrial growth in the U.S.
