- Opinion: Europe should make AI prove its value before granting grid priority
A commentary in The Next Web argues that Europe should not automatically prioritize data-centre and AI electricity demand when allocating scarce grid capacity. It says developers should demonstrate credible demand, explain public benefits and cover infrastructure costs. The article cites the International Energy Agency’s 2025 base case, which projected global data-centre electricity consumption of about 945 terawatt-hours by 2030, more than twice the 2024 level; the forecast covers data centres broadly, not AI alone. It also cites AEP Ohio’s 2026 update: an initial pool of roughly 30 gigawatts of data-centre requests fell to about 13 gigawatts after customers had to request and pay for engineering studies, while binding agreements covered approximately 5.6 gigawatts.
