Morgan Inc.正式承诺建设一条耗资42亿美元的管道，将燃料输送至西得州和得州狭长地带，以帮助为数据中心综合体供电。
Morgan Inc. formally committed to building a $4.2 billion pipeline that will haul fuel across West Texas and the Panhandle to help power a data center complex.
根据周三的一份声明，该项目名为“Permian Link”，将具备每天输送28亿立方英尺天然气的能力，管道全长434英里（700公里）。
The project dubbed Permian Link will have a capacity to ship 2.8 billion cubic feet of gas daily across a 434-mile (700-kilometer) expanse, according to a statement Wednesday.
声明称，Kinder将一家未具名的“A级超大规模用户”列为该网络的主要客户，预计将于2030年底投入使用。
Kinder counts an unnamed “A-list hyperscaler” as a major customer for the network, which is expected be in-service in late 2030, the statement said.
Kinder首席执行官Kim Dang在与分析师的电话会议上表示，该管道将抓住一个“极具吸引力的机遇”，将廉价的二叠纪盆地天然气向北输送至狭长地带新兴的数据中心集群。
The pipeline will capture a “compelling opportunity” by moving cheap Permian Basin gas north to emerging data center clusters in the Panhandle, Kinder Chief Executive Officer Kim Dang said during a conference call with analysts.
Permian Link是近几个月来在得州做出最终投资决定的最新一条大型管道，此举源于为运行数据中心和供应出口终端而激增的电力需求。
Permian Link is the latest giant Texas pipeline to reach a final investment decision in recent months amid booming demand for power to run data centers and supply export terminals.
虽然Kinder希望通过Permian Link满足多个客户的需求，但这家未具名的超大规模用户是核心租户，“显然正在推动加快进度”，天然气管道总裁Sital Mody表示。
While Kinder is looking to accommodate multiple customers with Permian Link, the unnamed hyperscaler is the anchor tenant and “obviously is driving the need for speed,” said Sital Mody, president of natural gas pipelines.
此外，该公司还批准了全长470英里的Southeast Connector管道项目，该管道每天最多可输送26亿立方英尺天然气。
Separately, the company greenlit the 470-mile Southeast Connector pipeline that will haul as much as 2.6 billion cubic feet of gas daily.
