Chevron West Texas AI Data Center Power Project

planned

Chevron Corp. is developing its first project to provide natural gas-fired power to a data center in West Texas. This project marks the company's entry into a new business line to capitalize on the growing demand for energy driven by artificial intelligence data centers. The facility is expected to be operational in 2027 and will have the capacity to generate up to 5,000 megawatts in the future, with an initial ramp-up to about 2,500 megawatts by its third year. The power project will likely be built separately from the grid to avoid competing with electricity supply for the wider population.
