“I think anyone who's done a big energy infrastructure project knows it's one thing to do a 500 MW energy project; it's another thing to build the load at the same time you're building the energy” – Generate’s Peter Nulsen. Peter spoke at the Transition-AI 2025 conference hosted by Latitude Media earlier this month. He joined expert panelists across the energy, tech and investment industries to discuss the challenges of building power infrastructure to keep pace with growing demand for #AI data centers, from scaling clean firm power to managing the multiple stakeholders involved. Read the Latitude Media team’s writeup from the event: https://lnkd.in/g795yaaMMeeting the U.S.’s load growth challenge is a topic our team has covered extensively. Our latest market intel deck examines the needs and opportunities of the U.S. energy infrastructure landscape within the context of the ongoing conversations about Congress’ budget reconciliation bill: https://lnkd.in/gGCFXQYy

In the most recent edition of our Generate: Intelligence newsletter, we tracked the latest energy and infrastructure data stories: - Despite some manufacturers across the U.S. pausing or canceling projects amid lingering tariff pressures and federal policy uncertainty, total investment in new plants remains robust. By March 2025, U.S. manufacturing construction spending had climbed to $230 billion, all of which will demand vast quantities of power. - After decades of steady gains, U.S. demand for gasoline is now on a six-year, 5% decline. This is due not only to increasing EV sales, but also the increasing number of hybrid cars on the road and improving fuel economy for combustion engine vehicles. - Natural gas analysts at S&P Global Commodity Insights expect volatility in gas prices to increase in the coming years due to a combination of retiring coal-fired power generation capacity, spending discipline among producers, and a change in how gas storage is used. 🔗 See the links in the comments for the full newsletter and to subscribe.

At times like these with major policy developments unfolding, it’s natural for all eyes to focus on Washington D.C. But investment and procurement decisions are made across the U.S. by companies large and small, based on their needs. A core ethos at Generate is that customers' needs drive markets. Our expert view by Gopal Vemuri, CFA explores how corporates are making energy and infrastructure business decisions and what that means for the broader state of corporate decarbonization. https://lnkd.in/gDXP2crwSubscribe to Generate’s market and policy insights: https://lnkd.in/g95r2_md

The U.S. faces a growing gap between power demand and available infrastructure, exacerbated by aging assets and rising electricity needs. Our latest report from Jonah Goldman, Logan Goldie-Scot, and Maya Kelty builds on previous Generate: Intelligence market analysis to examine the needs and opportunities of the U.S. energy infrastructure landscape within the context of the ongoing conversations about the budget reconciliation bill. A few key findings include: --America's aging infrastructure faces a $3.7 trillion funding gap. If federal funding declines, this gap will increase. --Solar, wind and batteries contributed 94% of new capacity additions in the U.S. last year. These projects are the fastest and most economic technologies to deploy, and they're needed to secure competitive industries while ensuring reliability and affordability. --The average American household will see their bills increase by 7% in 2026, with some facing increases as high as 21.3%. American businesses will face increases as high as 31%. These price hikes risk undermining global leadership on technology and manufacturing.

It was great to see Generate: Intelligence spotlighted in Axios! Many of today's headlines about the state of corporate decarbonization paint a bleak picture, in which the world’s most influential companies are pulling back from their net zero ambitions. But these high-profile examples offer only a partial view of the larger corporate landscape. In the face of rising power prices and fierce competition for power, the value and need for energy efficiency and investments in sustainability is greater than ever. Generate's Gopal Vemuri explored the durable drivers behind corporate decarbonization in a new piece for Generate: Intelligence.

The past two weeks have been defined by major policy-making moments. We’re breaking them down from our vantage point as an investor and operator in our latest edition of Generate: Intelligence: The future of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs hit a significant obstacle last week when a court struck down core pieces of the tariffs and ruled the President had overstepped his authority. We wrote about what the court’s initial ruling indicates for the U.S.’s approach to trade, and what that means for the investment landscape: https://lnkd.in/g_XmgDFbPrior to that, the U.S. House passed a sweeping tax bill that includes major changes to clean energy tax credits. As the Senate considers the bill, we looked at the tax bill's implications against the backdrop of the current U.S. power system, where meeting rising demand is an imperative: https://lnkd.in/gXVTD9DwAs these policies develop over the next few months, we’ll continue to unpack their market significance in Generate: Intelligence.
