US multinational oil and gas major ExxonMobil has revealed plans for a new 1.5GW natural gas-fired power plant dedicated to powering data centers. The project is in the early stages of development. It would mark the first time Exxon has built a power plant that does not supply energy to its own operations.

Exxon believes data centers could account for up to 20 percent of the total addressable market for CCS in 2050.

The natural gas-fired plant, the location of which has not been disclosed, is also expected to have pricey carbon-capture technology that could capture more than 90% of the project’s carbon dioxide emissions, The New York Times reported .

ExxonMobil is preparing to join the power generation business, seeing an opportunity to support the electricity supply for energy-intensive data centers.

The country’s largest oil company is designing a natural gas power plant outfitted with carbon capture technology to meet the voracious power demand of technology companies.

All that investment comes at a time when most analysts expect oil prices to fall next year because of a glut—which may be why Exxon stock was down 0.

Exxon Mobil, a US multinational oil and gas corporation based in Texas, on Wednesday announced a plan to create an additional $20 billion in earnings potential and $30 billion in cash flow potential for shareholders by 2030.
