Morgan Stanley research projects a 44 gigawatt power gap, that current grids and construction plans cannot fill. US data centers are expected to need 69 gigawatts of power between 2025 and 2028, but only 10 gigawatts are coming from projects with their own power and 15 gigawatts from spare grid capacity, leaving a 44 gigawatt shortfall.
That 44 gigawatts is roughly the output of 44 nuclear power plants and with $60B per gigawatt capex needed. Multiplying that by the 44 gigawatt gap gives about $2.6T just for new power generation and grid upgrades, and this does not include another roughly $2T needed to actually build the data centers that will use that electricity.
So the full bill to close this near term gap is on the order of $4.6T

In Germany, the cooling towers of the country's most powerful nuclear power plant were demolished
This act highlights the end of the nuclear era in Germany, as the country has completely abandoned nuclear energy and shut down all nuclear power plants
