The Power Behind AI: Energy Demands + Utility Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving transformative change across industries, but its incredible capabilities come with a hidden cost: massive energy and water demands. Training AI models, processing data, and powering data centers require robust utility infrastructure, creating new challenges and opportunities in real estate development.
From high-voltage power lines to advanced cooling systems, the backbone of AI operations is reshaping the industrial real estate landscape. Key markets like Northern Virginia and emerging hubs such as Salt Lake City highlight the demand for strategic locations with abundant utilities and connectivity.
This blog delves into the energy appetite of AI, the infrastructure supporting it, and the real estate opportunities for forward-thinking developers. Explore how this convergence of AI and industrial development is creating the future of smart, sustainable infrastructure.
