Artificial intelligence is creating unprecedented demand for electrical power, but the challenge extends far beyond generating additional electricity.
The Power Chokepoint examines the growing disconnect between available generation capacity and the ability to deliver reliable power to increasingly dense AI computing facilities.
Transmission constraints, grid interconnection queues, transformers, substations, cooling systems, and infrastructure development timelines can delay AI deployment regardless of how much computing equipment is available.
The paper explores why power deliverability—not simply electricity supply—may become one of the most persistent structural constraints on AI growth, influencing data center locations, technology architectures, capital investment, and the economics of computing.
