Energy Transfer Is Quietly Becoming One of the Biggest Natural Gas Suppliers to AI Data Centers
Energy Transfer has emerged as a major natural gas supplier to AI data centers, leveraging its 107,000-mile pipeline network to secure significant contracts with Oracle, Meta, Crusoe, and utilities like Entergy. The company is capitalizing on data centers' need for on-site power generation through gas turbines and fuel cells, with projects including the $2.7 billion Hugh Brinson and $5.6 billion Desert Southwest pipelines. This positions Energy Transfer for strong growth with expected 17.5% EBITDA growth and 3-5% annual distribution increases, though permitting delays pose some risks.
