Data center power crunch: physics will win
Original: The data center power crunch: “Physics is going to win”
Rystad Energy warns that the rapid growth of data centers is colliding with the limits of electricity grids, arguing that in the end "physics is going to win" as demand for power outpaces what infrastructure can realistically deliver. The warning highlights rising concern that AI-driven data center expansion may be constrained by grid capacity, generation limits and grid connection delays.
Why now: Surging AI and cloud demand has put data center electricity consumption at the center of energy market debate.
