As demand for energy booms, Think Power Solutions appoints Daniel Helman as Chief Executive Officer

Across the U.S., the power industry has seen a massive spike in capital investments. In fact, this past year investments in the industry hit record levels as individuals from the East to West Coast placed their bets to get ahead of a predicted surge in demand. 

This increase in power is directly linked to the demand for AI. As more users rely on the technology and the algorithms become increasingly complex, the industry needs more compute power.

As a result, we’re seeing a boom in the number and scale of data centers. Moreover, this demand for AI is predicted to drive a 165% increase in U.S. data center power consumption by 2030. 

It’s clear that current energy grids and energy supply methods will need to be adapted and expanded to meet the power needs of the country.  

Think Power Solutions is poised to respond to these combined trends with AI-enabled utility infrastructure solutions.

Now, changes to the company’s leadership team position them for the next wave of innovation.
