The accelerated growth of AI puts enormous pressure on the data centers and power grids that support it. U.S.-based utilities and data center operators are charged with delivering faster time-to-power with reliable alternative energy sources. Supported by proprietary research, this trends report examines power constraints and other industry challenges, while presenting the power generation strategies that providers are adopting to meet urgent demand. In this Industry Pulse report, we’ll discuss: How data centers are adapting to surging AI-driven energy demands with the use of alternative energy sources, including onsite fuel cell systems. Where data center growth is shifting amid grid constraints and delayed timelines. Why hyperscalers and colocation providers are bringing power production entirely on-site How utilities are rethinking power delivery beyond traditional models to meet speed, scale, and reliability demands.
