Data center power crunch: 'Physics is going to win'

Original: The data center power crunch: “Physics is going to win”

Analysts warn that surging electricity demand from data centers is colliding with the limits of grid capacity and generation supply. Rystad Energy highlights the crunch in a piece arguing that, whatever technology or investment is thrown at the problem, 'physics is going to win' — meaning power constraints will ultimately cap how fast AI and cloud infrastructure can expand.

Why now: Data center electricity demand is growing faster than grids can supply, making power availability a top concern for the AI industry.
