Powering the AI boom

May 12, 2025

Margarita Patria was a guest speaker on the Energy Superheroes podcast episode “Powering the AI Boom.”

Patria discusses with host Peter Perri (Energy Media) the rapid rise of data centers and the impact on the power grid, highlighting how their massive and highly reliable energy demands are forcing utilities to rethink infrastructure planning. She examines differing utility strategies and notes both the challenges, such as interconnection delays and equipment shortages, and the potential for innovation driven by efficiency gains and deep-pocketed players.
