Behind-the-Meter Goes Mainstream as 30% of New Datacenters Skip the Queue
Global Energy Monitor pegs Texas at 57.9 GW of methane gas capacity in development for behind-the-meter datacenter use, more than the next seven states combined, while Cleanview reports 90% of all 2025 behind-the-meter projects came online the same year and over 30% of proposed datacenters now plan to bypass the grid entirely.
By end of 2025, an estimated 39% of U.S. gas power capacity under development was designed for on-site data centers, up from 5% at end of 2024, according to Global Energy Monitor.
