Venture Global plans off-grid AI network in south Louisiana

(The Center Square) – Liquefied natural gas exporter Venture Global has announced plans to build a 10-gigawatt off-grid power network to supply artificial intelligence data centers that would be located on land the company owns near its terminals in Plaquemines and Cameron parishes. The company said Thursday it signed agreements with GE Vernova and Baker Hughes to buy 16 natural gas turbines for use in a private network. Capable of producing up to 11.5 gigawatts of electricity, the private grid would be capable of powering about 8.5 million homes, nearly 10 times the peak summer demand of New Orleans. Operating entirely "behind-the-meter" in “Island Mode,” Venture Global’s private network is to rely on the company’s own natural gas supplies to generate power while a closed-loop water system will be used to cool the data centers, the company said in a release.

Building a private network allows companies to bypass the typical five- to seven-year wait for an interconnection to the Louisiana grid and even longer in many other states. Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel noted the company’s existing 4.5-gigawatt private grid is
