Data centers go gas-fired as power becomes the bottleneck

As electricity becomes the limiting factor, data-center operators are locking in dedicated power.

What's happening

Multi-decade supply deals are emerging to guarantee capacity.

Grid constraints are reshaping where compute gets built.

Why it matters

The map of AI compute will follow the map of available power.
