Texas Projects Combine Natural Gas, Renewables, and AI for Next-Gen Data Centers

AI generated summary

Titus Low Carbon Ventures is advancing its data center parks in Texas by securing up to 673 MW of natural gas-fired generation capacity through a partnership with AB Energy. This collaboration involves the deployment of 202 Ecomax 33 power generation units, which will be integrated with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, along with battery storage. The goal is to commission the first 400 MW by the end of 2027, with the remaining capacity operational by 2028, aiming to lower emissions and energy costs.

In addition to Titus, other projects in Texas are also focusing on the intersection of natural gas, renewables, and AI. Fermi America is developing an $11 billion AI data center campus in Amarillo, featuring a combination of gas-fired turbines to meet the increasing demand for AI and cloud services. Meanwhile, New Era Helium is collaborating with Sharon AI to create a 250-MW net-zero data center in the Permian Basin, highlighting the growing need for energy resources to support the burgeoning AI sector.
