Data center power demand to drive $2.16T infrastructure spend by 2035

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The burgeoning data center industry faces a significant power challenge that will shape its future growth. Infrastructure spending is projected to surge from $570 billion in 2025 to $2.16 trillion by 2035, with the speed of utility capacity expansion being a key determinant. Global data center capacity is expected to reach approximately 200 GW by 2030, with a substantial portion of current expenditure allocated to IT hardware. AI

IMPACT The massive increase in data center infrastructure spending highlights the growing demand for AI and computing power, potentially driving innovation in energy solutions and grid management.
