Power, Utilities & Infrastructure: Powering global datacenter growth

In this episode, Shelby Tucker (Managing Director, U.S. Power & Utilities Analyst), Elvira Scotto (Managing Director, Midstream & Pipelines Analyst) and Robert Kwan (Managing Director, Head of Global Power, Utilities & Infrastructure Research) at RBC Capital Markets discuss the potential for significant future growth in electricity consumption driven by increasing datacenter capacity. Given the rising demand for cloud computing and AI, we explore the opportunities and challenges for power generators, regulated utilities and midstream infrastructure companies as it relates to the growth in datacenters, which are large consumers of electricity, mostly driven by computing power and cooling needs. Recent announcements highlight the potential growth in electricity demand driven by datacenter capacity expansions, and in the U.S., our findings show that datacenters could represent about half of the power demand growth through 2026.
