The artificial intelligence boom is now colliding with America's aging energy infrastructure, but natural gas may be the unexpected wildcard that keeps the AI revolution <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">from overheating—literally.</a>
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman issued a blunt warning Thursday on social media X: "Our GPUs are melting." The comment came as OpenAI imposed temporary usage limits amid surging demand for image generation in ChatGPT. 
As tools like ChatGPT become integral to business operations, the data centers powering them are drawing electricity at unprecedented rates. Now, the race is on to secure reliable electricity supplies.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">it&#39;s super fun seeing people love images in chatgpt. but our GPUs are melting. we are going to temporarily introduce some rate limits while we work on making it more efficient. hopefully won&#39;t be long! chatgpt free tier will get 3 generations per day soon.
&mdash; Sam Altman (@sama) <a href="https://twitter.com/sama/status/1905296867145154688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Sends US Electricity Demand Soaring: Could Natural Gas Step In To Fill The Gap?</h3>
Surging AI adoption is poised to add unprecedented pressure to the U.S. power grid, with data centers emerging as the primary energy guzzlers, according to a report released this week by Natural Gas Intelligence titled &#8216;AI Rising: How Will Natural Gas Markets Evolve to Fuel the Demand Surge?&#8217;
The International Energy Agency projects that electricity demand in the United States through 2027 will rise by an amount equivalent to California's entire current power usage. That's a surge of roughly 400 terawatt-hours (TWh) in just three years.
Wood Mackenzie estimates total U.S. electricity consumption will soar from 4,000 TWh in 2024 to 6,000 TWh by 2050. Of that, between 395 and 660 TWh could be consumed by data centers alone by 2035—more than 10% of total power usage.
The fast pace of AI deployment is leaving little room for slow build-outs of renewable energy or long-term infrastructure upgrades. That's where natural gas steps in.
"Gas will certainly get its share of the new AI-driven power demand given its reliability, which is a must for these facilities," said Patrick Rau, senior vice president of strategy and research at Natural Gas Intelligence, according to the report.
Natural gas provides firm and flexible power, a critical advantage for hyperscale data centers that operate 24/7. Rau said the key bottleneck is how quickly new gas-fired capacity can come online.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Utilities And Oil Giants Jump In</h3>
Power producers are already rushing to meet the call. NRG Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>) is fast-tracking 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of gas-fired projects in Texas. CEO Larry Coben said the company has signed multiple letters of intent with data center developers and is advancing 10 natural gas plants totaling about 8 GW in generation capacity.
In February, NRG also partnered with GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) and construction firm Kiewit Corp. to develop up to 5.4 GW of new capacity explicitly linked to AI data centers.
Other utilities are following suit. American Electric Power Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>) is weighing $10 billion in potential investments to meet what it calls "incremental load," largely driven by AI, manufacturing reshoring and general economic development. The company already has customer commitments for 20 GW of additional load by 2030 across its 11-state footprint.
Oil giant Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) is another unexpected entrant in the AI race. In partnership with investor Engine No. 1 and GE Vernova, the energy giant plans to build co-located power plants across the Midwest, Southeast and West to support data centers with dedicated energy generation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will DeepSeek Reduce AI Data Centers Demand?</h3>
Chinese AI company DeepSeek has introduced a platform that claims to rival current models in performance—at a fraction of the power cost. That innovation, while promising, may add another twist to the AI power narrative.
"DeepSeek's improved computational efficiency may provide a pathway to quell hyperscalers' power requirement," according to a recent report by Rystad Energy experts.
"But it could also escalate the AI arms race and compel companies toward more power-intensive innovation."
For now, the message from the grid is clear: keep the pipelines flowing and the turbines spinning at full throttle.

'Our GPUs Are Melting,' OpenAI's Altman Warns — Could US Natural Gas Power AI Revolution?

NRG Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRG#NYSE">NRG</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.21% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.44 million shares sold short, which is 4.25% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.82 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>NRG Energy Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743016521_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NRG Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NRG Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NRG Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.19%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

NRG Energy Beats Q4 EPS Estimates, Unveils AI Power Expansion, And Reaffirms 2025 Growth Outlook

GE Vernova and NRG Energy shares are trading higher after the companies announced a venture with TIC to develop rapid electricity generation capacity to support GenAI demand.

Initially, the venture will work to advance four projects totaling over 5 gigawatts (GW) of efficient, new natural gas combined cycle power plants for the ERCOT &amp; PJM markets. The first 1.2GW is expected to commence commercial operation in 2029 with two (2) 7HA gas turbines secured under a slot reservation agreement with GE Vernova. Subsequent projects will be targeted to come online through 2032. The model is replicable and scalable, with the potential to fill a future pipeline of 10-15GW and expand to other areas across the U.S.
