Data center power crunch: 'Physics is going to win'
Original: The data center power crunch: “Physics is going to win”
Rystad Energy warns that surging power demand from data centers, driven by AI and cloud computing growth, is colliding with the limits of electricity grids and generation capacity. The firm's message is blunt: no amount of investment or scheduling can outrun the physical constraints on power supply, and grid bottlenecks will increasingly shape where and how fast data centers can be built.
Why now: AI-driven data center expansion is straining electricity grids worldwide, making power availability a top constraint on tech growth.
