AI was mentioned on this call exclusively in the context of data center-driven natural gas demand growth, not as a technology EQT deploys internally or sells as a product. Management cited data center and AI-driven power demand as a key demand catalyst for Appalachian natural gas, referencing specific large-scale projects in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. EQT positions itself as a preferred gas supplier and midstream partner to data center developers, with multiple Bcf per day of supply opportunities under negotiation.

    Analyst questionparaphrased· Bank of America· Kaleinoheaokealaula Akamine
    How would you guys frame up the near-term opportunity set in terms of scale?
    if you look at the projects we've announced so far between our midstream projects and the other data center projects, you're, depending on utilization levels, call it, 2 to 3 Bcf per day of demand growth that we've already partnered with other parties to help underwrite. And then if we look at the other midstream projects that we are in discussions with people about that we think have a reasonable chance to come into fruition, I mean, that number could increase to 8, 10 Bcf a day potentially of additional egress and pull out of Appalachia for gas.

    My first question is about data centers. So more and more projects are getting shovel-ready, they need gas. You were having supply conversations. How would you guys frame up the near-term opportunity set in terms of scale? And also curious if terms are evolving beyond the [indiscernible] deals that we've seen so far?
    a lot of opportunities in our backyard, as we mentioned on the call on the prepared remarks. When we look high level just what's happening in basin, there's been some big announcements in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania. NextEra has come out and said that they're going to look at putting 10 gigawatts. We've got that big facility in Ohio that just got announced at Portsmouth. That's over 9 gigawatts. And then West Virginia has come out recently with their 50x50 plans, installing 50 gigawatts by 2050 in West Virginia.

    Momentum in natural gas-fired power growth is accelerating beyond prior expectations. Recent announcements and our own discussions suggest upside to our base case power demand growth forecast of 6 Bcf per day, with our initial bull case of 10 Bcf per day looking more like the new base case. This view is informed by the swelling opportunity set in Appalachia with a notable pickup in large-scale power, midstream and data center projects where EQT is positioned as the preferred partner.

    My first question is about data centers. So more and more projects are getting shovel-ready, they need gas. You were having supply conversations. How would you guys frame up the near-term opportunity set in terms of scale?
    we've got a robust pipeline of these opportunities that are currently being negotiated. I mean we're looking at multiple Bcf a day of supply opportunities. And other opportunities range from gathering to gas supply. The gas supply opportunity, I think it's important for people to know, we are focusing these opportunities around our asset base.

  • T2Q&A· CFO· Customer demand signal
    Analyst questionparaphrased· BMO Capital Markets· Phillip Jungwirth
    We saw a 9-gigawatt gas plant announced to power data centers in Southern Ohio. So just as you see projects like this or others in the Midwest announced, how do you see these projects securing gas?
    We see that Ohio market and that Clarington market as one of the greatest opportunities for us. I think there's a lot of low-risk pipe builds of significant size backfilling those Utica dry gas declines. But also I think a lot of the demand maybe that gets built in Ohio or some of the egress that gets built out of that market through both brownfield or also greenfield expansion. So again, I think if you're sitting in Southwest Appalachia with a lot of inventory like EQT is, you're kind of first-row, beachfront real estate, get ready for that theme to really pick up.

    Analyst questionparaphrased· TPH· Jacob Roberts
    Jeremy, we spent some time on data centers, but I'm just curious, when I look at Slide 16, can you talk about how internally you guys derisk some of those numbers as to what might actually happen?
    Slide 16 first, this is data that we bought recently as we're analyzing where these projects are and trying to understand what markets we're seeing the most pull. I mean, look, we don't really see it is our role to sort of derisk this. I think the best thing we can do to help enable these projects to go forward is be a reputable, highly creditworthy, reliable supplier of gas.

    one of the things you haven't talked about in the past is distributed power. It's smaller scale than what you've announced to date, but just wondering how you view this demand opportunity.
    we see our position in the market as a partner both to midstream companies to power companies to some of these developers of distributed power, the data center developers. I mean we're really an ally and partner on everybody. We're not really a competitor with anybody. We're just trying to help enable and to facilitate all that gas demand to get built.

    Analyst questionparaphrased· Wolfe Research· Douglas George Blyth Leggate
    what can you do to improve your realizations? And more specifically, can you accelerate your access to LNG on international markets given your current plan is post 2030?
    attracting demand to our backyard I think is going to be really important that will have the impact of strengthening basis, which will benefit our business. We're really excited about the progress that we're seeing. I think if you look at the slide we put out on data center demand, there's a lot of activity happening in our backyard.

    Analyst questionparaphrased· Goldman Sachs· Neil Mehta
    maybe, Toby and Jeremy, you could just talk about lessons learned and confidence about the ability to replicate this in another period of high volatility.
    this is something where our technology platforms really bring that type of sustainability as we continue to scale this business. So we'll continue to look for ways to streamline communications, and that's a normal part of our business in this large-scale organization.

Q&A Dynamics

What management wouldn’t quantify.

Analyst questions where management declined to share a specific number. The pattern of refusals is often as informative as the disclosures.

  1. Management referenced 'data center demand' and AI-driven power growth extensively but did not quantify EQT's signed or contracted revenue specifically attributable to AI/data center customers.
  2. Slide 16 referenced as containing data center project data was not described in sufficient detail on the call to extract specific figures.
  3. No disclosure of any internal AI/ML technology investments, tools, or productivity initiatives by EQT itself.
  4. Bull case power demand growth of 10 Bcf/day attributed partly to data centers was not broken out by AI vs. other demand sources.
