A recent analysis by BloombergNEF indicates that gas engines offer the lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for a 500 MW US data center, estimated at approximately $103/MWh. This cost is lower than that of open- and combined-cycle gas turbines. However, for many AI projects, the speed of deployment and grid connection timelines are critical factors that may outweigh pure efficiency. AI
IMPACT Deployment speed and grid connection timelines are becoming as critical as energy costs for AI projects.
RANK_REASON Analysis of infrastructure costs with an AI angle, not a core AI release or development.
