As the world stands at the dawn of the artificial intelligence era, a silent crisis is unfolding — the enormous energy required to fuel the data centers that underpin this revolution. AI has accelerated electricity demand in ways no one anticipated — both in timing and magnitude. Gigawatt-scale data center clusters have already emerged across the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, consuming unprecedented amounts of high-quality power. Yet, AI is only part of a larger trend — the global digital economy’s growing reliance on cloud computing, streaming, and continuous connectivity is straining power systems everywhere.
It is now evident: the AI revolution can only go as far as the energy transition allows.
