Energy Transfer to Supply VoltaGrid Powering Oracle’s 2.3-GW AI Data Centers
VoltaGrid and Oracle are partnering to deploy 2.3 GW of ultra-low-emission natural gas power, supplied by Energy Transfer pipelines, to support Oracle’s next-generation AI data centers across Texas.
(P&GJ) — VoltaGrid LLC is partnering with Oracle to supply up to 2,300 megawatts (MW) of ultra-low-emissions power infrastructure for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s (OCI) next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
The project will use firm natural gas delivered through Energy Transfer’s pipeline and storage network, highlighting the midstream company’s role in providing reliable fuel supply for high-demand digital operations.
The VoltaGrid system will be deployed through the company’s proprietary, modular platform — designed with INNIO Jenbacher and ABB — to stabilize AI-driven energy loads.
“This is more than a power deal, it’s a collaboration with Oracle to engineer scalable solutions that dampen swings in AI power demand,” said Nathan Ough, CEO of VoltaGrid. “Together, we’re delivering grid-grade performance with ultra-fast response, zero reliance on battery storage, and near-zero criteria air emissions.”
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Executive Vice President Mahesh Thiagarajan added: “AI workloads are uniquely power-intensive and highly variable, often creating swings in demand. By collaborating with VoltaGrid, we’re engineering innovations that dampen these swings, making AI’s power usage more stable, predictable, and grid-friendly.”
The partnership will also boost economic activity in Texas, with VoltaGrid planning more than 750 new jobs through expanded manufacturing in Dallas and Houston and operational growth across the state.
VoltaGrid said the project reinforces its mission to deliver responsive, low-emission natural gas power solutions that enhance grid resiliency for energy-intensive sectors such as data centers and industrial facilities.
