This piece on the rise of gas-fired power being built off-grid, at the site of data centers, rightfully identifies this as a "structural shift" in our electricity system. But it is true that these power plants produce higher emissions per MWh than grid-supplied electricity only "in some cases"?

As data centers go off-grid, utilities face new cost and planning risks
Industry disclosures suggest that by the end of the decade, a meaningful share of new data center capacity could be partially or fully self-supplied, write Brandon Owens and Morgan Bazilian.
