Why it matters

As AI compute demand scales exponentially, physical infrastructure—not chip availability—is becoming the binding constraint on AI deployment. Power delivery and grid capacity are now the bottleneck that will determine which companies can actually operationalize AI at scale.

The key facts

4 to know
  1. Power/grid capacity identified as next bottleneck after chips

  2. Transformers and electrical infrastructure as critical constraint

  3. Data center power delivery limiting GPU utilization

  4. Infrastructure readiness gap emerging as competitive differentiator
