Data Center Power Is the Real Bottleneck
AI capacity is bottlenecked on power, not chips. The companies that own electrons earn the durable returns.
Why power matters most
Compute can be deployed in months. Power generation and interconnection take years. The mismatch is durable, and the contracts being signed today will determine pricing power for the next decade.
Where I focus
- Behind-the-meter generation adjacent to compute
- Grid interconnection rights in scarce markets
- Transformer and switchgear supply
- Long-duration power purchase agreements
