what happened
Venture Global has signed agreements with GE Vernova and Baker Hughes covering as many as 16 new power-island units, each rated at 720 megawatts, plus related transformer gear. The LNG exporter says these units could back up to 10 GW of computing capacity by 2034, though that depends on customer contracts and demand.
A first power-island order is planned before the end of 2026, and initial permit requests are due to be filed this week. The plants would run behind the meter, independent of public grids and water utilities. Any third-party data center work would sit apart from the LNG business and leave existing supply contracts untouched, the company added.
why it matters
For GE Vernova and Baker Hughes, the deals point to rising demand for dedicated gas-fired generation tied to AI data centers. For Venture Global, the plan extends a grid-independent setup that already includes 4.5 GW of gas generation running in island mode, alongside its export operations.
