🚨 Professional news! Starting a new role at @GoldmanSachs in NYC next week. Wifey and I are living in Seaport, so reach out if you’re in NYC! I loved every moment of my time at OSAM, and am eternally grateful to @jposhaughnessy for bringing me on 5 years ago. Incredible firm.

“I got a fever, and the only solution is more data center content” How are +1 GW "AI factories" being funded? Where is all this CapEx getting spent? What's next for Tier 2 hubs? Is this a bubble? Highly recommend this new interview from Goldman Sachs https://t.co/Ye2dsnvqq9

And the current US power grid is not prepared for this level of rapid demand growth. US utilities are expected to invest +$700B in grid CapEx by 2030

*Taps mic* is this thing on?! After 6 months of labor, really excited to share this in-depth report we wrote on the unprecedented power demands of AI. From Nuclear SMRs to natural gas, M&A and AI data center financing… this report has it all. https://t.co/3r3VH2rWti

But capital is not the most critical bottleneck for AI progress — it’s the power needed to fuel it. Learn more about these challenges and how companies are addressing them below! https://t.co/3r3VH2rWti

There is a diverse ecosystem of investors participating in this unprecedented infrastructure buildout. Including newer entrants like insurance funds. Strategic partnerships and creative financing solutions are critical for resolving these bottlenecks.

But wait, that’s not all! Getting a new natural gas plant online currently takes 5-7 years. Not great, Bob! Why? Permitting delays, long interconnection queues, and equipment shortages (gas turbines)… There are many options on the table, but all have their pros / cons.

But there is a meaningful gap in US data center capacity supply vs. demand. We need more data centers, yes. But we really need more power!

And of course, demand for compute is SOARING. Tokens consumed per week? +4,000% just since June 2024.

Just looking at the evolution of server racks you get a sense of the power intensity. By 2027, AI server racks will require 50x more power than the cloud equivalents of 5 years ago. 50x !!
