Why I Saved This

Useful as a clean starting point for the AI x energy thesis: if intelligence scales into physical bottlenecks, power markets, plant economics, and grid constraints become capital allocation questions.

What It Is

Power 2026 is Neel Somani's primer on electricity pricing, power generation, and the market mechanics underneath the AI buildout. It connects data-center demand, plant economics, and grid structure into one operator-useful frame for understanding why energy is becoming a core input to AI capacity.

When To Use It

Use it when thinking about AI power demand, electricity-market structure, data-center siting, commodity exposure, or how energy constraints shape the next phase of compute expansion.
