The convergence of artificial intelligence and power infrastructure presents both unprecedented challenges and transformative opportunities for the energy sector.
In response to the growing urgency of powering AI infrastructure amid a rapidly evolving landscape, Dynamo Energy Hub and Alvarez & Marsal co-hosted a roundtable discussion on practical solutions to the critical challenge of “speed to power,” issues defining these challenges, and how AI may help solve these grid connectivity issues.
This report provides a front-row seat for the three core discussion topics: regulatory and policy, planning process and investment risk, along with a preamble from Google describing the scale and urgency of the challenge with real-world deal applications for developers and grid operators.
Key Takeaways:
- AI-driven electricity demand is accelerating at unprecedented rates.
- Speed has overtaken price as the primary constraint.
- Policy and permitting reform is necessary but not sufficient.
- AI can dramatically accelerate grid planning and interconnection.
- Novel risk-sharing models are emerging.
