OpenAI Stargate Data Center Gas Turbine Deployment
Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Abilene, Texas, United States
Source: Tom's Hardware
OpenAI is planning to deploy 29 GE Vernova LM2500XPRESS gas turbines at its first Stargate data center site in Abilene, Texas, to provide flexible and efficient power to energy-intensive AI data centers. Each turbine can produce 34MW, totaling 986MW if all are installed, nearly enough to power 500,000 AI chips. Currently, permits exist for only 10 turbines, with the rest possibly pending or planne

Description
Description | OpenAI is planning to deploy 29 GE Vernova LM2500XPRESS gas turbines at its first Stargate data center site in Abilene, Texas, to provide flexible and efficient power to energy-intensive AI data centers. Each turbine can produce 34MW, totaling 986MW if all are installed, nearly enough to power 500,000 AI chips. Currently, permits exist for only 10 turbines, with the rest possibly pending or planned for other sites. This deployment addresses power supply challenges faced by AI data centers, as local grids sometimes cannot meet the demand. |
