The chip shortage was last decade’s constraint. The energy shortage is this decade’s. Meta is solving it first.
The Constraint: AI Demands More Power Than Grids Can Deliver
Metric
Value
Single H100 GPU
~700W under load
Training Cluster (10K GPUs)
~7 MW
Large Data Center
100-500 MW
Meta’s 2026 Needs
Multiple GW
Grid Reality Check
US grid adds ~20 GW/year capacity
AI companies collectively need 50+ GW by 2030
Traditional grid expansion cannot keep up
