Venture Global 3Q: Record Profits, Big Plans for Gas-Fired AI Power

| |
Venture Global (VG), the Louisiana LNG exporter and one of the biggest buyers of natural gas in the country, reported its third-quarter 2026 results earlier this week.

Second, VG wants to add a new business: off-grid, gas-fired "AI utility" power for data centers. If it all gets built, that could mean well over a Bcf/d of new gas demand.
