(Oil Price) – Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have said that all options, including oil and gas, are on the table as tech giants continue to grapple with surging power demand by AI workloads. Energy and tech executives have gathered at the Hamm Institute for American Energy in Oklahoma City to discuss how the U.S. can meet the growing energy needs for AI data centers.
(Oil Price) – In recent years, interest in developing the U.S. nuclear power capacity has grown. Under the Biden administration’s push for a green transition, more companies were encouraged to invest in clean energy. In addition, the power demand is expected to grow much more rapidly than previously thought, as the tech sector drives demand with plans to construct huge data centres. This,
(Oil Price) – Surging power demand in both developed and emerging economies accelerated global energy demand growth in 2024 to nearly twice the pace of recent years, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Monday. Record-high temperatures, higher demand from industry and for electrification, and AI and data centers contributed to a 4.3% rise in global power consumption last year, the IEA said
(Yahoo News) – BOSTON – Data Center Alley, a 30-square-mile stretch outside Washington D.C. and home to more than 200 data centers, consumes roughly the same electricity as Boston. So power company officials were alarmed when a big chunk of those centers – 60 of them – suddenly dropped off the grid one day last summer and switched to on-site generators.

Diamondback says it’s looking for an equity stake in a gas-fired power plant that would be built on
(Oil Price) – The future of data centers is about to make a huge draw on the power grid. According to a DOE-backed report from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, U.S. data center energy use could nearly triple by 2028, eating up as much as 12% of the country’s electricity. Why? Blame AI and its insatiable hunger for powerful chips and energy-guzzling
(Oil Price) – The supermajors are moving into power generation, tempted by forecasts of a looming surge in demand. Yet there is a twist: the temptation is natural gas generation. Wind and solar—typically described as green or clean power—are turning into a fiasco for Big Oil. Chevron and Exxon both recently said they were planning to venture into the exciting—and quite
