LandGate®, a trusted provider of data and analytics for energy and technology industries, has published its latest report detailing developments in the data center market for Q2 2025, with a specific focus on the use of gas as an energy source. This report explores the balance between sustainability and energy reliability for data centers, offering critical insights for investors, developers, and tech leaders shaping the future of energy resilience.
With the data center market projected to exceed $400 billion by the end of the next decade, the industry continues to experience significant growth. Over the last three years alone, projected data center load growth has surged from 23 GW to an expected 70 GW by the decade’s end, ultimately reaching an estimated 128 GW. To meet these growing demands, gas power remains a key energy source, complementing renewable energy solutions by offering a stable and scalable supply.
According to LandGate®‘s report, “By combining gas power with renewable energy, data center companies can balance sustainability measures with reliable power supply for critical operations.” The United States’ extensive network of over 300,000 miles of large-scale gas transmission pipelines bolsters this reliability, supporting the energy-intensive infrastructure that data centers require.
The report highlights how today’s rapid advancements in AI, expanding digital technologies, and dependence on constant internet connectivity have positioned data centers as the backbone of the digital economy. However, as demand increases, the traditional grid struggles to maintain pace, prompting a shift toward alternative power sources like natural gas. Gas power provides essential benefits, including consistent availability, price effectiveness, scalability, and market flexibility. This enhances energy resilience, ensuring businesses can address expanding data needs while maintaining environmental commitments.
LandGate®‘s analysis underscores the strategic value of gas-powered solutions for data centers. These solutions address the complex intersection of sustainability, cost efficiency, and energy reliability, offering a path forward for scalable and critical operations. The full report provides deeper insights into the data behind this trend and the opportunities it presents for stakeholders.
