Who benefits from the AI power bottleneck?

The bottleneck holding back AI is a scarcity of power, or so goes the story. That may be true — and plenty of reporting (https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/en...) backs (https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/th...) it up — but different actors in the space face varying incentives to play up or play down that narrative.  So what incentives are at play, and how do they shape each player's story? In this episode, Shayle talks to Shanu Mathew (  / shanugmathew  ) , senior vice president and portfolio manager-analyst for U.S, sustainable equity at Lazard. Last month on X, he posted a breakdown of the actors (https://x.com/shanumathew93/status/19...) — including hyperscalers, chip makers, utilities, and others – and how the different incentives they face shape how they talk about energy and AI. They cover topics like: • Hyperscalers’ mixed incentives: the benefits of building their own capacity vs encouraging others to overbuild • Why equipment makers, chipmakers, and land developers benefit from talking up the bottleneck to boost demand for their services • How independent power producers and gas players benefit from high prices • How the power-bottleneck narrative has shifted over time Resources: • Latitude Media (https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/er...) : ERCOT’s large load queue has nearly quadrupled in a single year   • Latitude Media (https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/th...) : The power bottleneck is changing data center financing • Latitude Media (https://www.latitudemedia.com/news/ea...) : Early-stage data centers are driving up US power demand forecasts   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.
