Williams and Chevron are developing gas-fired infrastructure intended to supply electricity to AI data centers. The reported projects include Chevron's Project Kilby, designed to deliver 2.67 gigawatts to a Microsoft data center under a 20-year agreement, while Williams has multiple behind-the-meter projects totaling more than 2 gigawatts. These projects target rapid power delivery for data-center demand but face permitting, construction, and greenhouse-gas-emissions concerns.
