⚡ The real AI bottleneck might not be chips. It might be electricity.
Former banker Felix Prehn argues that the next major AI infrastructure trade is increasingly about power generation, not just GPUs.
Big tech companies are locking in long-term electricity contracts to secure the energy needed for massive data centers.
Four names he highlighted:
⚡ Constellation Energy 920 MW of new long-term nuclear power agreements, averaging 18.5 years.
⚡ Talen Energy up to 1,920 MW contracted with AWS from its Susquehanna nuclear facility.
⚡ Vistra long-term power agreements with Meta and Amazon, plus a partnership involving NVIDIA, KKR and Kuwait Investment Authority.
⚡ GE Vernova $176B backlog, with its gas turbine backlog expected to exceed 125 GW by year-end.
The thesis is pretty simple:
AI needs chips.
But chips need data centers.
Data centers need electricity.
And electricity might become the real bottleneck. 🧠
We've spent years asking:
“Who makes the GPUs?”
Maybe the next question is:
“Who can actually power the GPUs?” 💀
