description: "AGF analysis indicates surging AI data-center power demand through 2035 boosts the case for US natural gas generation. While nuclear is positioned for long-term decarbonization, natural gas remains the near-term workhorse, with output projected to reach 1.7 billion cubic meters/day by 2035. This trend highlights potential upside for gas producers, midstream infrastructure, and uranium suppliers, supported by US policy including $20 billion for reactor design."

# AGF says AI data-center power demand boosts case for US natural gas generation

-   AGF analysis flagged power supply as a potential constraint on AI data-center buildouts, with demand expected to surge through 2035. \* BloombergNEF forecast data-center electricity use at about 106 gigawatts by 2035, more than double current levels. \* Natural gas seen as the near-term workhorse, already 43% of U.S. generation, with output projected at 1.7 billion cubic meters/day by 2035. \* Nuclear positioned as a long-term decarbonization option, holding about 20% of U.S. power demand through 2035. \* AGF highlighted potential upside for gas producers, midstream infrastructure, uranium suppliers, reactor builders, despite long nuclear development timelines. \* U.S. policy support cited, including about USD 20 billion for reactor design, tax credits for nuclear production, investment.
