The future of the centralized utility model is under siege as AI giga-campuses build their own grid-independent AI Power blocks using breakthrough 800 VDC technology. We analyze this profound tech shift alongside rising non-discretionary spending—from NERC cyber compliance to mandatory capital investment for climate resilience—that is hitting utility bottom lines. Discover why physical grid risks, such as the nine-state Brazilian blackout, are accelerating pressure on transmission hardening and system operators. Tune in to understand the crucial strategic pivot utilities must make to secure high-growth digital load and counter localized generation threats.
