GRID MODERNIZATION: The Bottleneck of the AI Boom
AI data centers are creating power demand faster than infrastructure can keep up.
Utilities are scaling $200B+ in annual capex to expand transmission, distribution, and grid capacity.
Why it matters:
→ More AI = more electricity
→ More electricity = grid expansion
→ Grid upgrades = massive capital cycle
Watch:
$ETN · $GEV · $HUBB · $PWR · $AMPX · $GRID
The AI race isn’t just about compute.
It’s about delivering power.
