Chevron U.S.A. announced Tuesday a partnership with Engine No. 1 and GE Verona in plan to develop reliable power solutions for U.S. data centers running on natural gas.

Oil and gas producer Chevron said on Tuesday it plans to build natural gas-based power plants next to data centers in the U.S., as energy demand to support the growth of artificial intelligence is expected to boom.

US oil and gas major Chevron and San Francisco-based hedge fund Engine No. 1 have partnered to develop and scale natural gas-powered power plants to serve co-located data centers in the Southeast, Midwest, and West of the US.
