Morgan Stanley estimates 70 GW power shortfall for US data centers by 2028
Morgan Stanley projects 70 GW US data center power shortfall by 2028.
“The projected power shortfall could hinder tech growth, leading to potential delays in data center expansions and increased competition for resources. The post Morgan Stanley…”
Why it matters
A 70 GW power gap forces real trade-offs: data center expansions will compete for available grid capacity, raising electricity costs and potentially favoring regions with new power generation. Companies dependent on consistent compute availability now face infrastructure constraints independent of chip availability, reshaping deployment strategies.
