This represents Energy Transfer’s first commercial arrangement to supply natural gas directly to a data centre. Energy Transfer is uniquely positioned to provide reliable natural gas supply that is crucial to the data centre operations under development, many of which are in close proximity to its vast network of more than 105 000 miles of natural gas gathering, and intrastate and interstate transportation pipelines and storage facilities with a combined storage capacity of nearly 236 billion ft3. Additionally, Energy Transfer is in discussions with a number of data centre developers and expects this to be the first of many agreements to supply, store and transport natural gas to fuel data centres, electric generation facilities and other power demand customers throughout its nation-wide footprint.
“We are very excited about our close relationship with Energy Transfer and feel extremely confident in their ability to provide redundancy through their vast pipeline network and storage capacity. In addition, we will work closely with Energy Transfer to identify additional potential data centre sites, on or close to their strategic natural gas pipeline network, using our proprietary site selection software,” said Cynthia Thompson Executive Chair, CloudBurst Data Centres, Inc.
