Vote for Midstream & Natural Gas

Since we highlighted the nascent Midwestern data center boom earlier this year, regional

project opportunities for our covered gas infrastructure incumbents have continued to

gain traction as utilities pursue expansions of local grids in support of hyperscaler load

growth.

So far, DTM and TRP have emerged as frontrunners in the region, as both companies

continue to make significant commercial progress across their respective footprints. We

think the highly oversubscribed nature of DTM's MIST and TRP's Crossroads expansion is a

testament to the scale of anticipated demand growth across the Midwest, especially given

that both projects will likely include overlapping regions of service.

Against this competitive and dynamic regional backdrop, investors remain focused on

which companies will be able to commercialize the most capacity and how resulting

expansions will translate to earnings growth.
