Strategic & Commercial Impact

• Off-Grid AI Infrastructure Play: Venture Global is expanding beyond LNG export operations to establish private, "Island-Mode" power networks to power behind-the-meter, large-scale AI data centers (targeting up to 10 GW of compute capacity), eliminating reliance on public utility grids.
• Flexibility: Commitments remain largely staged, minimizing upfront capital until individual reservation agreements and purchase orders are confirmed.
