Behind-the-meter gas and alternative firm power face delivery tests

Announced behind-the-meter gas capacity remains near 189 GW, but proposals remain difficult to distinguish from committed construction. Nevada regulators approved Switch’s proposed 510-MW gas plant for data-center growth, with construction potentially starting in 2027 and completion targeted for 2029; FERC pipeline approval remains outstanding, and reported water and emissions estimates make local impacts material. Oracle’s Project Jupiter in New Mexico continues to face a delayed pipeline, evolving fuel-cell strategy, and contractual and schedule risk.
