Supplying Reliable, Low-Cost Power
The energy landscape is evolving rapidly. Power companies like yours are facing a pivotal challenge; how to deliver more power to a growing customer base. Electricity demand across the U.S. is projected to rise by nearly 16% by 20291. The grid needs to be ready — whether it’s due to the surge in data centers, the return of domestic manufacturing, or the electrification of industries. That means expanding capacity fast, strategically and cost-effectively.
To meet rising load demand while keeping rates competitive, today’s leading utilities are taking an “all forms of energy" approach by integrating renewables, battery storage, natural gas and nuclear into their energy mix.
Why This Approach Is Working
Fast Deployment, Immediate Impact: Renewables and battery storage are the lowest-cost and fastest-to-deploy technologies available today. You can start reducing market exposure and meeting peak demand now, not years from now.
Scalable, Flexible Generation: As your long-term needs evolve, natural gas and nuclear energy can provide reliable, scalable, 24/7 generation to support sustained growth.
Natural Gas: An Attractive Source of Electricity
As the demand for reliable energy continues to grow, natural gas has the potential to support multiple gigawatts needed for data center growth, the reshoring of manufacturing and establishing American energy dominance with the following benefits:
Consistent and Reliable Base Power
Natural gas provides a steady and dependable source of base power, ensuring grid stability.
Customization of Capacity Requirements
Natural gas-powered generation can be tailored to meet specific capacity needs effectively.
Seamless Integration
Natural gas integrates seamlessly with renewable, storage and nuclear energy sources.
Operational Flexibility
Natural gas generation can be adjusted quickly to match energy demand fluctuations.
Support for Growth
Natural gas will be critical in creating a balanced and reliable energy mix to support the growing load requirements across the country.
If your utility is targeting growth in data centers, or industrial and manufacturing loads, natural gas can help you deliver the gigawatts of reliable power those customers need.
