THE AI POWER GRAB: Who Will Own the Electricity Behind the AI Boom?

*THE AI POWER GRAB: Who Will Own the Electricity Behind the AI Boom?* The AI revolution is becoming an **energy race**. Behind every AI model, GPU cluster, and massive data center is one critical resource: **electricity**. The IEA projects that global data-center electricity consumption could roughly double from **485 TWh in 2025 to around 950 TWh by 2030**, with AI-focused data centers growing even faster. ([IEA][1]) In this documentary, we go beyond Nvidia, Microsoft, and OpenAI to explore the hidden infrastructure powering the AI boom: ⚡ Data centers and electricity demand 🏭 Power plants and energy infrastructure 🔌 Grids, transformers and transmission networks ☢️ Nuclear power, natural gas and renewables 💰 The billions flowing into AI infrastructure 🏦 Investors financing the new energy race 🌍 The countries competing to secure AI power The key question is not simply *who will build the smartest AI**—but **who will control the energy needed to run it?* *THE AI POWER GRAB has already begun.* Subscribe to *Capital Chronicles* for documentaries about money, technology, investing, billionaires, business and the hidden forces shaping the global economy.
