TrendForce warns global power grid capacity is lagging behind rapidly growing data center power demand, projecting a widening gap from 2028 onwards, with a shortfall reaching 268GW by 2030 even if all other electricity demand is met.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a growing risk of power shortages that could stall data center expansions after 2028. Accelerate developing or securing independent power sources to keep your operations running and meet client commitments.
