Know More. Risk Better.

Utilities: The Great Data Center Overbuild


Listen Later

Season 9, Episode 21


This week on "Know More. Risk Better." features host Zachary Griffiths along with Andy DeVries, for a data center deep dive following the Edison Electric Institute investor conference. The conversation examines the supply-demand disconnect in data center capacity, with utilities committing to approximately 100 gigawatts of new capacity by 2030 against third-party estimates indicating only 50 gigawatts of actual demand.


The team explores the rate payer protections utilities are implementing to mitigate overbuild risk, counterparty concerns when data centers move off balance sheet into special purpose vehicles, and credit quality implications across the sector. DeVries also discusses why independent power producers like Vistra may be better positioned than traditional utilities, and the potential for political intervention in capacity markets as electricity bills become a midterm election issue.
