Templeton Emerging Markets sees AI power demand driving infrastructure investment opportunities

By Public Technologies
  • AI-driven electricity demand is broadening investment opportunities beyond semiconductors into power generation, grid infrastructure and data-center cooling.
  • Global data-center electricity consumption could reach 945 terawatt-hours by 2030, up from around 415 TWh in 2024, International Energy Agency estimates show.
  • Data centers could consume 9% to 17% of US electricity by 2030, versus roughly 4% to 5% currently, EPRI estimates show.
  • Concentrated demand from large computing campuses could constrain grid capacity, increasing investment needs for generation and electricity delivery.
  • Elevated valuations and concerns over AI investment returns favor selective stock picking focused on fundamentals and sustainable earnings.
