UK puts AI datacenters ahead of housing in power grid queue

British government proposes priority grid connections for AI datacenters while 140 facilities queue, risking further delays to home building.

The Daily Perspective

Hyperscalers will spend $600-690B on infrastructure in 2026. That is 50-72% more than 2025.

75% is AI-related. But the real bottleneck? Electricity.

Data center power demand: 30 GW today, 90+ GW by 2030. The US alone faces a 15+ GW deficit.
