Traditional data centers are located close to the customer. AI doesn’t have to be. Some AI processing will be dispersed throughout the cloud, but AI training centers can go to where there is power capacity.

Vibhu Kaushik @Prologis says electrification projects at their commercial warehouses typically grow energy use from about 5 kWh per sq. ft. per year to 30 kWh. If they electrify 30% of their buildings by 2030, demand will increase 2.5x. #EEInka
