Industry: Power Generation

North American midstream companies are entering a multi‑year transition as AI‑driven electricity demand reshapes how natural gas infrastructure is planned, financed, and contracted. Over the next five years, the sector is expected to evolve from linear pipeline expansion toward integrated power platforms that combine supply, transport, storage, and generation around large, fixed loads. Several large […]

Texas is shaping the future of U.S. power development. Many regions across the country remain bottlenecked in long interconnection queues filled with early‑stage proposals that may never move forward, yet Texas stands out for a very different reason. ERCOT has far more generation capacity in advanced stages of development than in speculative stages, a contrast […]

At the 2026 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI, provided a cross-segment outlook on the energy and chemical value chains. He highlighted the firm’s focus on the strategic interfaces between upstream production, global gas markets, and power generation, emphasizing how infrastructure and geopolitical shifts are reshaping global commodity flows. Key themes included a shift […]

In 2026, ADI expects demand growth to drive the midstream sector as opposed to supply growth. At the same time, disciplined capital allocation strategies will reshape how infrastructure is developed, optimized, and valued. Exhibit 1 summarizes our growth expectations in midstream oil and gas, and we share below 10 key insights on what to expect […]

ADI Analytics has released its power and electricity outlook for this year, and the global power industry sees 2026 as a genuine inflection point: demand accelerates, supply lags, and physical constraints—not capital—set the pace. The following ten points summarize the key findings from our latest analysis. 1. Electricity consumption grows 3.5–5.5%, led by data centers, […]

The green hydrogen dream is currently facing a difficult reality: electrolysers are expensive to build and operate, and many projects are struggling to secure the high utilization required for a bankable business case, often due to a lack of immediate, large-scale hydrogen demand. These plants have high upfront capital costs, and if they sit idle, the financial […]

Gold prices have increased by nearly 50% in the past year, but that’s not the only gold rush in town these days. The other gold rush is for a piece of the supply chain action that enables access to the grid for power generation assets, powering the upcoming AI-driven data centers. The grid infrastructure gold […]

The ADI team participated in multiple events across the city during the second annual Houston Energy and Climate Week in September 2025—which has now grown into a vibrant global event—hosting many of our clients who traveled from as far as Asia and Europe. Houston’s startup landscape feels vibrant and increasingly central to the energy transition; the ION and Greentown Labs have emerged […]

This was an exciting week as ADI Analytics was honored to host U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at our exhibit at Gastech 2025 in Milan. Secretary Wright showed keen interest when our conversation shifted from gas and LNG to produced water management—a topic likely close to his past life leading […]

Global LNG capacity grew by more than 20 million tons per annum (mtpa) from 2023 through mid-2025. North America, including the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, accounted for about 65% of this new capacity. Additionally, 2 mtpa of this capacity came from floating terminals and ~11 mtpa from terminals with small-scale, modular LNG trains (each less […]

The U.S. LNG export capacity growth stagnated over the past couple years due to delays caused by market volatility, labor shortages, and regulatory uncertainty. Now, the supportive stance of the Trump Administration and growing global gas demand are expected to bolster the U.S. LNG sector through 2030. U.S. LNG export capacity reached a little over […]

Hydrogen is key to decarbonizing, and countries worldwide unequivocally recognize this, as seen from the widespread policies supporting hydrogen market development displayed in exhibit 1. Most European countries have developed hydrogen strategies and roadmaps, with targets for green H2 production capacity by 2030, including 5.0 GW in the UK, 10.0 GW in Germany, and 6.5 […]
