Data Center Power Demand Projected at 24% CAGR Through 2030
Question
Data Center Power Demand Projected at 24% CAGR Through 2030
Direct answer
The expansion of AI training clusters is driving structural power supply shortages across major US interconnect regions. With electricity demand projected to increase at 24% annually through 2030, hyperscalers are securing direct nuclear and gas generation agreements. GE Vernova's $176B backlog and Vistra's 30%+ operating profit growth highlight significant capital reallocations into power infrastructure, turning electrical equipment and utility generation into essential AI supply chain inputs. — bullish pressure on GEV.
