The AI Power Play: Why Data Centers Are Turning to Industrial Boilers and Steam Turbines The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has created an unprecedented strain on power grids worldwide.
As data centers proliferate, they're consuming vast amounts of electricity, prompting a scramble for solutions that's led to an unlikely player emerging: industrial boilers and steam turbines.
Data centers are springing up across the globe, driven by over 12,000 active AI projects in the US alone, representing a staggering 1,570 gigawatts of generator capacity.
