is the current landscape?

Industry Overview

On-site gas opening sized at 80GW by 2030 23 July 2026 Corrected

Datacenter additions are rapidly moving the needle for US electricity demand, with the Equity

grid unable to keep up. Our analysis of a recent deep dive by our BofA colleagues United States

estimates an 80+ GW opening for onsite gas generation (unconstrained) by 2030. As Oil & Gas

power demand is outpacing the grid’s ability to connect in certain areas, several Jean Ann Salisbury

market for providing onsite behind the meter power to datacenters. This has been BofAS+1 646 855-1470
