The AI boom is rewriting the US natural gas map. As data center operators race to secure power, gas demand is surging in places the market has never had to price with precision before, and legacy benchmarks are being tested by flows they were never designed to capture.
On 19 November 2026, Fatima Kader, Head of Generation Fuels at General Index, joins Enrique Gonzalez, Head of Americas Gas Research at BloombergNEF, and Bill Nyahay, Natural Gas & Power Market Specialist at Bloomberg, to explore why the AI-driven build-out of US data center capacity is forcing a rethink of natural gas price discovery.
Topics will include:
- How data center demand is pushing gas consumption into locations the market has rarely had to price precisely
- Why Permian pipeline bottlenecks have pushed Waha Hub into prolonged negative pricing, even as Gulf Coast LNG and Texas data center demand grow
- The new basis risk emerging at secondary hubs near AI build-outs in Virginia, Georgia, Ohio and beyond
- What forecasts of AI-linked gas demand well above 6 Bcf/d by 2030 mean for where gas is priced
- Why granular, location-specific benchmarks are becoming essential to managing exposure across an increasingly fragmented market
