Approvals for new gas-fired power plants reached a 25-year high in 2025. Until 2023, most approvals occurred in gas-importing countries. The pattern shifted as the United States became the leading source of new orders. Data centre demand contributed to the increase in U.S. approvals.
The agency noted that the United States now dominates global orders for gas-fired plants. Prior to the recent shift, approvals were concentrated in countries that import natural gas.
