Microsoft, Chevron Sign Power Deal for Texas Data Center
Chevron Corp. signed a 20-year deal with Microsoft Corp. to provide natural-gas fired power for a proposed West Texas data center, which could be one of the biggest in the US. The proposed plant, Project Kilby, is expected to start producing power by 2028 and will ramp up to 2.67 gigawatts over time, Houston-based Chevron said in a statement Monday. That’s enough to power more than 530,000 Texas homes. The oil giant, which is collaborating on the development with investment fund Engine No. 1, plans to make a final investment decision later this year. Bloomberg News previously reported the companies were in exclusive talks over a long-term power deal. For more, we speak with Kevin Crowley, Bloomberg News Oil Reporter. (Source: Bloomberg)
