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 .

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.

This would be the first time Exxon built a power plant that wasn’t intended to power its own operations, the New York Times reported.

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.

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

The plant will be fitted with technology that can capture more than 90% of the facility’s carbon dioxide emissions,

U.S. oil major Chevron Corp is considering ways to supply lower carbon power for data center operators, Jeff Gustavson, president of Chevron New Energies said in an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York.

Exxon Mobil plans to invest heavily into several big projects over the next six years, even as some other oil companies are growing more cautious, the company said at an investor day on Wednesday.
