NextEra Secures Land in Texas for Giant Gas Plant To Power Data Centers, CEO Says
NextEra Energy has secured land in Texas for a gas-fired plant to power a large data center campus backed by a U.S.-Japan agreement, the company’s CEO said on Monday.
The power provider announced last week that the administration of President Donald Trump approved the development of two large gas plants, totaling about 10 gigawatts, in Texas and Pennsylvania to help meet the surging electricity needs of data centers.
