AI Power Bottleneck — Watts Per Rack + Generation-Side
AI Power Bottleneck — Watts Per Rack + Generation-Side
You can order 100,000 GPUs in 6 months; you cannot add 500MW to the grid in 6 months. AI capex is gated by electricity generation, not silicon. Aschenbrenner Q4 2025 13F watts-per-rack frame; NuttyCLD Mar 30 – May 1 series extended into delivery-side sub-thesis (forked to ai-power-delivery). Cohort working hard: BE +89% 30D RSI 66; CRWV/CORZ/IREN/APLD/HUT all +40-69% 30D; EQT laggard (nat gas weak). UPDATE 2026-05-02: Crusoe CEO Lochmiller (operator-side) ratifies — explicit GE Vernova shareholder endorsement, gas turbine pricing 3x'd ($1M → ~$3M/MW), onsite gas-turbine generation is the unlocking layer (grid timelines too long), compute depreciation likely longer than 6 years (H100 spot pricing has risen since launch). See log.md for full chronology.
Showing 120 of 123 events.
Watch for: BE additional hyperscaler fuel cell deals, BTC-miner→AI conversion announcements, grid interconnection policy changes, Q1 2026 13F (Aschenbrenner adding/trimming?), NuScale/Oklo project announcements, EQT vs UNG nat gas tape, GE Vernova investor day numbers (cross-check gas turbine 3x pricing), gas turbine OEM order books (GEV/Siemens/MHI), AI infra cohort depreciation language on next earnings (5-6 year vs 8-10 year), NVDA Q1 FY27 earnings 2026-05-28 (power infra commentary), ARM positioning at Q2 13F (chip-IP royalty pricing-in cross-check), coal-retirement slowdown vs planned (ChurchillWw — partial soft-floor for IPP-merchant pricing if more coal stays online than planned)
