News in Brief
AI-linked power projects double in US
Aug 31 – The number of gas-fired power plant projects, linked to US data centres, has nearly doubled in the first half of 2026. According to Global Energy Monitor, 378 MW of gas capacity is currently under development in the US, one-third of total projected capacity worldwide, led by Texas with 122 MW.
GE to deliver GIS substation at Chesterfield
Aug 27 – GE Vernova has been chosen by Laing O’Rourke to deliver a new 400 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation at Chesterfield, UK. The new substation is part of National Grid’s Brinsworth-to-Chesterfield and Chesterfield-to-High Marnham project, with the upgrade using SF₆-free technology to strengthen grid resilience in a sustainable manner. The projects form part of The Great Grid Upgrade, the largest overhaul of the electricity grid across England and Wales in generations.
New gensets for Project Permian
Aug 26 – Net Power has agreed to purchase 123 MW of new power generation equipment to increase the installed capacity of its Project Permian to nearly 200 MW. The gas-fired power project in West Texas is being gradually scaled up to 1 GW.
Singapore allocates new data centre capacity
Aug 24 – Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) has provisionally allocated 200 MW of new data centre capacity to Digital Realty, Equinix, Keppel Data Centres and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, with each receiving 50 MW for facilities on Jurong Island. All sites will be developed within JTC’s planned low‑carbon data centre park on Jurong Island, and operators must source more than 50% of their capacity from green or low‑carbon energy such as biomethane, low‑carbon ammonia or hydrogen.
German gas storage only half full
Aug 21 – Germany’s underground gas storage facilities are only about 50% full as of mid-August, well below last year’s roughly 67%. To achieve the targeted 70% filling levels by November, the government is preparing additional intervention options although traders remain cautious amid elevated prices and geopolitical uncertainty.
Russian attack damages DTEK power plant
Aug 19 – A Russian air strike has damaged one of DTEK’s thermal power plant, forcing the Ukrainian operator to shut down one unit. DTEK’s thermal power fleet had an installed capacity of about 13.3 GW as of early 2022, spread across eight plants, though repeated attacks since then have destroyed much of that installed capacity, jeopardising regional electricity supply security.
Wärtsilä powers Texan data center
Aug 17 – Wärtsilä is preparing to deliver an off-grid power solution for a new data center, under construction in Texas. The 790 MW power plant will operate with 42 Wärtsilä 50SG engines running on natural gas.

Japan mulls debt financing for US power projects
July 27 – The Japanese government is considering foreign debt finance for gas-fired power projects in the United States that form part of its $550 billion U.S. investment pledge. “If financing from foreign banks materialises, it should further facilitate the procurement of foreign-currency funding needed to implement the investment initiative,” the finance ministry said on the platform X late on Sunday.
EUAs hover around €80/t
July 24 – EU Carbon Emission Allowances are expected to continue their mean-reversion trading around €80/t for the rest of this month, as the Commissions adjustments leave supply-demand balances for carbon credits tight through 2035. Further out, Energy Aspects reckons there may be 250 Mt more allowances in the market through 2040 as the pace of how fast the ETS cap falls has been slowed down for 2036 onwards.
Index seeks partners for Rivers IPP
July 22 – Nigeria’s Index Thermal Power has invited engineering firms, infrastructure developers and institutional investors to join the development and financing of its proposed 1,800 MW gas-fired independent power plant in Rivers State.
