Planned on-site gas generation tied to data centers totals 181 GW worldwide, with 165 GW of that in U.S. projects, according to a BloombergNEF grid-connection policy report using data as of October 5. BloombergNEF cautioned that the 181 GW figure reflects potential scale rather than actual construction or final completion forecasts, since projects vary widely in stage and timeline. The report projects data-center electricity consumption will nearly quadruple from 2026 levels to 2,354 TWh by 2035, equal to 7% of global power demand. Grid connection delays in the U.S. and Europe are pushing large power users toward on-site gas generation, raising emissions risk. Watch whether these gas plans move into firm construction as grid queues persist.
