Exclusive: AI Is Fueling A Power Surge, It Could

Also Reinvent The Grid

Published September 8, 2025

The rise of artificial intelligence set off a race to build the infrastructure it needs to thrive. But as new
facilities go up at breakneck speed, they are placing growing strain on the global energy system—raising a
proposition that can no longer be ignored: can the technology driving this energy surge also be part of the
solution? Estimates suggest that electricity consumption could triple by 2030, driven largely by AI
workloads and the infrastructure supporting them.
