Google is highlighting the urgent need for energy infrastructure improvements to support the rising demands of AI in its latest whitepaper. The company plans to invest in training electricians and other skilled labor to address anticipated shortages, with an additional 130,000 electrical workers necessary by 2030. The whitepaper also suggests exploring diverse energy sources and upgrading power grids while mentioning that energy intensity for AI workloads is improving. These initiatives aim to ensure a reliable energy future coinciding with the increasing use of AI technologies.
By unlocking advanced electricity resources and grid infrastructure, the United States would enable all sources of electricity to contribute to a more reliable and affordable energy future.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last year tripled its five-year demand forecast, with energy demand from AI driving 15-90 gigawatts of new US data centre demand by 2030.
