Pembina bets big on data-centre power and a new oil pipeline

Greenlight power plant gets go-ahead Pembina approved a $4.6 billion gas-fired power plant (its share about $2.3 billion) to supply a data centre, expected to add roughly $310 million a year in earnings. This opens a new, contracted growth business beyond pipelines, supporting the stock.
This is the core new event driving Pembina's growth story and price.
Meta data centre confirms demand Meta broke ground on a C$13 billion data centre in Alberta that will buy power from Pembina's Greenlight plant under a long-term contract. This locks in steady, fee-like revenue and shows real demand for Pembina's gas-to-power push.
It validates the Greenlight project with a concrete, creditworthy customer.
Pembina joins new west coast oil pipeline Pembina is a named partner in a proposed million-barrel-per-day oil pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast, costing $35–44 billion. If built, it would expand Pembina's export infrastructure and long-term growth, though it is early-stage and years away.
It is a major new capital project that could reshape Pembina's future earnings.
Big spending brings execution and balance-sheet risk Pembina is committing billions to Greenlight and the pipeline while also funding Cedar LNG and Heartland. The growth is real, but so is the risk if projects run late or over budget, or if the balance sheet gets stretched.
It is the main counterweight to the positive growth news and matters for long-term investors.

Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD)

Q3 20266 Jul – 30 Jul 2026

Record Q2 earnings and new growth projects drive EPD higher

Record Q2 earnings and distribution increase EPD reported record Q2 net income of $1.8 billion, up 28%, with adjusted EBITDA up 17% to $2.8 billion. Cash flow covered the distribution 1.9 times, and the payout rose to $0.56 per unit. This shows the business is growing and returning more cash to investors.
This is the period's biggest new event and directly boosts investor confidence in EPD's earnings and payout.
$6.5 billion in new growth projects EPD announced a new NGL fractionator and two Permian gas processing plants, bringing total projects under construction to $6.5 billion. These fee-based assets should generate steady cash flow for years, supporting future distribution increases and unit buybacks.
New capital projects signal future growth and are a key reason investors are positive on EPD.
Strong long-term demand from LNG and AI power U.S. LNG export capacity is projected to nearly double by 2030, and AI data centers are driving a 60% rise in electricity demand by 2045. EPD's pipelines and terminals earn fees on these growing volumes, giving it durable tailwinds.
This explains the multi-year demand backdrop that supports EPD's volumes and earnings.
Buyback and 27-year distribution streak EPD repurchased $159 million of units in Q2 under its $5.0 billion buyback program and has raised its distribution for 27 straight years. This steady return of cash and consistent payout growth attracts income-focused investors.
Buybacks and a long distribution growth streak are key supports for EPD's unit price.
