Energy Transfer has announced a longterm agreement with Denver-based
CloudBurst Data Centers to supply natural gas to CloudBurst ’ s flagship AI-focused data centre development in Central Texas . Under the agreement , Energy Transfer ’ s Oasis Pipeline , LP , will provide up to 450,000 MMBtu per day of firm natural gas supply to CloudBurst ’ s Next-Gen Data Center campus near San Marcos , Texas , contingent on CloudBurst reaching a final investment decision ( FID ) with its customer .
The co-innovation lab , which will be operational in the second quarter of 2025 , is designed to support the most advanced compute workloads and densest compute pods on the market . The facility provides a comprehensive testing , measurement and benchmarking environment , delivering credible , data-backed proof of Accelsius ’ superior performance and sustainability .
“ This partnership with Nordik Data Centers represents a pivotal moment for Accelsius , as it marks our significant entry into the Canadian market ,” said Josh Claman , CEO of Accelsius .
The supplied natural gas would be sufficient to generate approximately 1.2 gigawatts of direct , or ‘ behind-the-metre ,’ electric power for at least 10 years , beginning with Phase 1 of the data centre facilities . CloudBurst anticipates reaching FID later this year , with the facility expected to be operational by Q3 2026 . This marks Energy Transfer ’ s first commercial agreement to supply natural gas directly to a data centre .
