Ruth Porat, Alphabet president and chief investment officer of Google's parent company, pointed out that the acceleration of energy supply construction in the United States may not match the demand brought by the expansion of artificial intelligence. She emphasized that supporting the rapid growth of artificial intelligence data centers requires huge amounts of electricity.

"We are concerned that the energy sector is not at full speed," she said at the CERAWeek conference in Houston, adding that the United States must make full use of all kinds of energy resources to meet today's needs.

Major tech giants are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to expand energy-intensive data centers for training and landing applications of artificial intelligence models. The plan is mainly concentrated in the United States, but has encountered multiple obstacles in the implementation process, including the long queue cycle of grid access and the insufficient supply of key power generation components such as gas turbines.

Google's parent company, Alphabet, recently made an unprecedented move to buy a power company to support its business growth. In addition, the company has invested in the development of advanced nuclear reactors and signed so-called "demand response" agreements with utilities, requiring data centers to actively reduce power usage during peak power consumption.

At the project-specific level, the company has reached an agreement with NextEra Energy, a major power supplier, to restart a defunct nuclear power plant in Iowa to specifically power its data centers.
