Market Chatter: Osaka Gas Eyes Up to Five US Gas Plants Amid Surging AI-Driven Power Demand

MT Newswires Live04-06 08:19

Osaka Gas (TYO:9532) explores investing in or operating as many as five gas-fired power stations in the US, with Texas, Virginia, and the northeast under consideration, Bloomberg News reported Friday, citing a company official.

No final decisions have been reached yet, but the move comes as rising electricity demand from AI and data centers pushes tech companies toward reliable gas-powered generation, the newswire said.

Fujiwara had signaled in November a desire to increase US investments in such plants, separate from a previously announced $33 billion Ohio gas project tied to a US-Japan trade deal involving at least 13 Japanese firms, the publication said.

According to the spokesperson, this latest initiative is not connected to that bilateral trade agreement, the report said.
