Power demand from generative AI will soar from 46 terawatt hours to 224 TWH between this year and 2027, according to the firm's base case scenario.
That's equivalent to more than 75% of the total global data center power use in 2022, or close to Spain's entire power consumption in 2022, the firm said.
"We believe the rapid power demand growth from GenAI is not well understood, and not priced into a number of stocks."
Among large-scale renewable developers in the U.S., AES has the largest commercial and industrial market share, according to Morgan Stanley.
Apart from data center infrastructure and power providers, utilities are another part of the data center servicing ecosystem.
