Banpu, a major Thai energy company, announced plans to ramp up U.S. natural gas production to 960 million cubic feet per day by 2026—a significant 15% increase from 836 million in 2025. The company is expanding its Texas power generation platform (Temple I&II + new Jack County facility) with CCUS carbon capture technology and securing long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to serve hyperscaler data centers and AI infrastructure. This directly addresses surging electricity demand from cloud and semiconductor sectors, positioning Banpu as a critical energy supplier for Asia's tech boom.
