What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Morgan Stanley reported that the United States could face a power shortfall of roughly 33 gigawatts through 2028, even when accounting for onsite generation and other accelerated power solutions. The bank's September analysis suggests that behind-the-meter generation and equipment suppliers are key to bridging this gap. Bloom Energy Corporation provides fuel-cell generation that can be deployed on site, allowing data-center operators to add megawatts while larger transmission projects are in queue.
