Goldman Sachs: AI race risks and energy limits
The article discusses the challenges facing the development of energy infrastructure to support the rapid growth in artificial intelligence. A report by Goldman Sachs indicates that delays in building electrical grids and slowing permitting processes threaten to derail the AI race, with global electricity demand from data centers expected to increase by 170% between 2025 and 2030, with the United States accounting for more than 60% of this growth. The report also highlights that capital expenditure on energy infrastructure is projected to reach approximately $7.6 trillion between 2026 and 2031. Meanwhile, projects aimed at matching supply with demand face delays of up to five years, and over 2,600 gigawatts of energy projects remain inactive, increasing financial risks and project implementation delays. The article emphasizes that a shortage of energy supplies could hinder the continued expansion of AI capabilities, as tech companies plan to borrow through bonds estimated at $420 billion in 2027. Additionally, community objections and project cancellations reflect broad challenges in supporting this substantial growth.
