World leaders are in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly, which coincides with Climate Week. It comes after months of climate-fueled extreme weather around the world, including…

Nationwide utilities are rapidly constructing gas-fired power plants to meet increasing energy demands, particularly from data centers, but regulators aren’t fully accounting for the associated costs, a new analysis reveals. The PJM Interconnection has reopened its interconnection queue for the first time in four years, with gas projects now comprising nearly half of the 220-gigawatt

Ohio has initiated operations at a new 950 MW gas-fired power plant featuring advanced compressor technology and long-term support services. The Trumbull Energy Center, a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility, is now commercially operational and represents an expansion of electricity generation capacity within the PJM Interconnection, the largest wholesale power market in the United

AI-Driven Data Center Growth Spurs Off-Grid Gas Power Plant Expansion A surge in data center development fueled by artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating the construction of off-grid gas power plants across the United States. These facilities, often referred to as “behind-the-meter” generation systems, bypass traditional utility grids and are frequently approved within a matter of

Project comes as demand for AI power infrastructure expands rapidly

E.ON to Acquire British Rival OVO German energy supplier E.ON has entered into an agreement to acquire its British competitor, OVO. The acquisition is anticipated to potentially double E.ON’s customer base in the United Kingdom. While the financial specifics of the deal remain undisclosed, analysts at JPMorgan suggest that OVO's current financial difficulties may result

Energy Australia has submitted an application to nearly double the planned capacity of its Marulan gas-fired power station in New South Wales, increasing it from the originally approved 800 megawatts (MW) to 1.4 gigawatts (GW). The modified proposal would consist of two open-cycle peaking generators intended to provide electricity when renewable energy sources like wind and solar are insufficient. The project, which links to the Moomba to Sydney Pipeline, aims to address anticipated energy demand, particularly from the rapidly growing data center sector in NSW. Analysts expect similar large-scale gas plants to emerge as coal-fired plants retire and nuclear energy remains off the table. However, experts have raised concerns about the economic viability of running such a large peaking facility and the long-term reliance on fossil fuels. While gas emits less CO2 than coal, critics argue that investing in new gas infrastructure risks locking Australia into outdated 20th-century energy technology. The federal Department for Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is reviewing the application under the EPBC Act, with public exhibition expected around October. If approved, the plant could become operational by 2032, potentially costing billions of dollars and serving as one of Australia's largest gas-fired facilities.

Swiss utility Axpo is advocating for the construction of three to four new gas-fired power plants while simultaneously maintaining operations at the Gösgen and Leibstadt nuclear reactors. According to Axpo chairman Thomas Siebers, gas-fueled power offers advantages due to its ability to be quickly adjusted, its relatively fast construction timeline, and the flexibility it provides
