Chevron and Microsoft Power AI Future

Chevron and Microsoft are launching Project Kilby, a $7 billion, 20-year partnership in West Texas to build a dedicated natural gas power plant for Microsoft’s AI data center campus. This massive facility, set on 2,000 acres in the Permian Basin, will generate 2.67 gigawatts—enough to power 2 million homes—and bypass Texas’ main grid entirely. Designed to turn excess gas into electricity, the project tackles AI’s soaring energy demands while giving Chevron a stable revenue stream beyond oil. Power begins in 2028, with full development spanning a decade. This bold move signals that the AI revolution is reshaping physical infrastructure—and both companies are betting big on a future powered by relentless computing.
