The emergence of AI is fueling a rapid expansion of data center capacity, which will significantly increase future energy demand. Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR) forecasts data center power demand will grow by 14 GW from 2023 to 2030 in a base case scenario, amounting to 2 Bcf/d of natural gas power if fully serviced by gas-fired generation. Through 2050, growth in data center demand will require an additional 153 GW of capacity, according to the latest EIR projections.
