As AI data centers expand, the need for reliable and scalable power sources is becoming a significant focus. Some of the major industries, including solar, natural gas, and battery storage, are expected to benefit from this transformation, with projections from experts showing that AI could significantly impact U.S. power consumption by 2030.

The Future of Energy in an AI-Powered World

At Bloomberg Invest 2025, Rob Barnett, Senior Energy Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, explored how solar, natural gas and battery storage could benefit from the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure proposal. He highlighted the growing energy demands of AI data centers, which could account for 8% to 19% of U.S. electricity consumption by 2030, depending on efficiency improvements in chips and algorithms. Barnett was initially skeptical of these projections, but his analysis ultimately confirmed that AI's energy needs are significant and will be an important factor in shaping future power demand.

Other than AI, other factors driving electricity consumption include the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing, supported by the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act, and the continued adoption of electric vehicles. To meet this rising demand, solar power is expected to expand quickly due to its short construction timelines, which makes it an attractive option for AI-driven data centers that require quick deployment. However, because solar is intermittent, battery storage and natural gas will also play critical roles in balancing the grid. Barnett estimates that AI-related power demand alone could increase natural gas consumption by 3 to 10 billion cubic feet per day by 2030.

He added that nuclear energy has gained interest, with companies like Microsoft and Amazon securing agreements related to existing nuclear plants. However, large-scale new nuclear projects, including small modular reactors, are unlikely to contribute significantly before 2035. In the near term, the primary sources meeting the surge in electricity demand will be solar, battery storage, and natural gas, with wind energy playing a smaller role due to current policy and market dynamics.
