AI-Driven Energy Demand Sparks Opportunities in Power Sector
The relentless expansion of artificial intelligence is rewriting energy market dynamics. Hyperscale data centers, packed with power-intensive AI processors operating round-the-clock, could double global electricity consumption by 2030 according to International Energy Agency projections. U.S. AI facilities alone may soon rival the output of multiple nuclear plants.
Constellation Energy emerges as a key player with its 22-gigawatt nuclear fleet producing 182 terawatt-hours of emissions-free electricity in 2024. Nuclear's 24/7 reliability positions it uniquely to meet both the scalability demands and carbon-neutral mandates of tech giants building AI infrastructure.
