Data Center Boom's Impact on Clean Energy

The AI spending boom has raised concerns about the pace of data center expansion, with investors questioning whether too much is being spent too quickly.

A slowdown in data center expansion could ease pressure to build fossil generation, but it would also weaken the commercial case for clean energy technologies.

Data centers are expected to account for 20% of electricity demand growth in advanced economies like the U.S. through 2030, and 3% of global electricity demand by then.
