Balancing priorities to advance energy transformation: the AI boom, data centres and escalating power demand

AI’s boom has highlighted the potential threat posed to the grid due to the amount of energy required by data centres. So much so that governments around the world are intensifying scrutiny of building new data centres over fears they are putting excessive pressure on electricity grids. For AI and other data-centric solutions to continue to grow, developers must find solutions for the sharp increase in power demand. Increased energy efficiency, onsite power generation, and nuclear energy are potential solutions. However, many believe restructuring of supporting electrical infrastructure and an overhaul of supportive policy will be required.
