Building up the #US #powergrid won't be wasted, even if the #AIbubble bursts
Even if #AI compute growth slows McKinsey argues, the generation and transmission infrastructure built to support it is unlikely to become stranded. The assets could serve other demand while strengthening grid reliability and resilience.
Bain & Company warned that US energy sector needed to ramp up spending on generation and grid infrastructure, or demand could outstrip supply within a few years.

Texas halts data center connections to power grid amid overwhelming demand

Hannah Daly commented on the CSO report: "Ireland's total electricity demand grew by 34% since 2015. Per-capita electricity demand for all other uses actually fell over the period.
"Data centre demand has matched 93% of the growth in renewable electricity generation (wind + solar + hydro) over the past decade. If we measure since 2020, data centre demand has grown nearly 3-times faster than renewable electricity growth.
"The narrative is that data centres support renewables growth, but renewables are not an end in themselves. Renewables don't bring decarbonisation, energy security and affordability if they are directed to support an isolated sector rather than to replace fossil fuels across our entire economy."#infrastructure #planning #dataCentres #dataCenters #energy #electricity #power #powerGrid #grid #Ireland
