Natural gas is experiencing unprecedented demand growth due to electricity needs from data centers, increasing LNG exports, and the replacement of coal plants with cleaner-burning gas.

AI Growth Zones are designated sites that are well-suited to housing AI-enabled datacentres and their supporting infrastructure, requiring enhanced access to power supplies of at least 500MW.

"With the increasing data throughput required in AI and other applications, there remains a strong demand for high performance. PCIe technology will continue to deliver a cost-effective, high-bandwidth, and low-latency I/O interconnect to meet industry needs."

OneCore integrates various Vertiv technologies, including Trinergy UPS systems, switchgear, and CoolLoop Trim Cooler systems, offering centralized management via Vertiv Unify.

Navitas Semiconductor reports strong long-term positioning in GaN and SiC markets but faces a multi-quarter stock downtrend despite Q1 beating revenue and EPS estimates.

Data center operators are increasingly worried about power amid rising electricity demand from AI. An Uptime survey found that 36% of data center operators are "very concerned" about power constraints.

The nationwide average retail residential price for 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity rose from 16.41 cents to 17.47 cents between May 2024 and May 2025, a gain of about 6.5%.

Worldwide data center capacity will increase by 46% over the next two years, equivalent to a jump of almost 21,000 megawatts, as demand surges.

The AI Infrastructure directive addresses energy and permitting issues associated with data centers and the computational demands of running AI applications, requiring the Department of Energy to issue RFPs.

The growth in electricity demand from data centers is threatening the South's transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy. Current projections indicate an increase in reliance on fossil fuels, further raising carbon emissions.

The number of customers using Arm-based chips in data centers has grown to 70,000, a 14-fold increase since 2021, with a significant impact from generative AI.

AI data centers' carbon emissions are expected to surge 11-fold by 2030, with predictions that these centers will consume 612 terawatt-hours of electricity, driving a 3.4% increase in global carbon emissions.

"Bitrise plans to invest $3 million to create data centers in the EU that meet sovereign cloud requirements, ensuring that data used in app development doesn't leave the region."

This puts CISPE at odds with other sectors that are also competing for limited water resources.

"As utilities race to meet skyrocketing demand from AI and cloud computing, they're building new infrastructure and raising rates, often without transparency or public input."

PCIe technology has served as the high-bandwidth, low-latency IO interconnect of choice for over two decades and we are pleased to announce the release of the PCIe 7.0 specification.
