AI experts warn that China is miles ahead of the US in electricity generation — lack of supply and infrastructure threatens the US's long-term AI plans
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A U.S. analyst of Chinese technology said that the country has already solved its energy problem — at least in terms of power for its AI infrastructure. Rui Ma, founder of Tech Buzz China, posted on X that the country's massive investments in advanced hydropower and nuclear technologies meant that its 'electricity supply is secure and inexpensive.' This is in contrast to the U.S., where many AI data centers are disrupting its electricity grid and supply, resulting in a lack of supply and price increases for every user. Both Washington and Beijing are currently in an AI race, with the two powers vying for the lead in this technology. Because of this, the two rivals are diving into a massive build-out of AI data centers that require massive amounts of electricity to run. In the U.S., it has come to the point that tech giants are building their own power plants — with Elon Musk importing one to power his data centers and companies, like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, Nvidia, and more investing in the research and development of nuclear reactors. However, it seems that this is not a problem for China. According to Fortune, the East Asian country has an 80% to 100% power reserve, allowing it to absorb the massive demand brought about by the hundreds of data centers it built in recent years. More than that, it's also continually expanding its output, with one expert telling the publication that it 'adds more electricity demand than the entire annual consumption of Germany, every single year.' Some argue that the power is delivered by heavily polluting coal plants, but China is also investing massively in renewable energy projects. Nevertheless, if the power demand outstrips supply, it can easily reactivate coal plants to cover the shortfall. In fact, the new data centers are welcomed, as they help stimulate demand in a market that has an excess of power production. Nevertheless, electricity oversupply doesn't seem to be an immediate concern, as most of China's power plants are state-owned. Beijing also plans its energy production well in advance, allowing it to prepare for prospective demand, like the AI data center boom. This still does not address the elephant in the room, though: the fact that many Chinese data centers sit idle or underutilized. Beijing is developing a network to create a marketplace that will sell surplus capacity, but it is still facing challenges, especially with latency and different ecosystems. On the other hand, the U.S. faces major hurdles with its electricity supply. Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg said that power constraints will limit AI growth, and that new power plants aren't being built fast enough to satisfy AI's insatiable demand. If the U.S. does not address this issue sooner, it risks lagging behind China even if it has more powerful and efficient hardware. That's because the latter can just throw tons of power to gain the upper hand in the AI race through sheer brute force, similar to how Huawei's CloudMatrix cluster beats the performance of Nvidia's GB200.

These 2 FTSE stocks could benefit from the growth of AI and the demand for new data centres
In my opinion, there are two FTSE stocks — Segro (LSE:SGRO) and Tritax Big Box REIT (LSE:BBOX) — that look set to gain from the anticipated explosion in the demand for data centres. According to McKinsey & Company, by 2030, $7trn will need to be spent globally on building the physical infrastructure necessary to house the servers and other hardware required to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Closer to home, Barbour ABI has found nearly 100 live UK planning applications for such properties. And reflecting their energy intensity, Mordor Intelligence reckons the capacity of domestic data centres will grow from 2,590 MW in 2025 to 4,750 MW by 2030. That's equivalent to an average annual increase of 12.9%. The country's number one As the UK's largest real estate investment trust (REIT), Segro already has a significant foothold in the market. It owns Slough Trading Estate, Europe's largest business park and home to the continent's biggest cluster of data centres. It also leases other warehouses to companies operating in the sector. Its tenants include Equinix and Digital Realty Trust, two of the industry's largest players. But its share price has disappointed recently — it's down 28% since August 2024. And the commercial property market can be volatile. However, its balance sheet is strong — its loan-to-value was 31% at 30 June. Also, 73% of its lettable area is located in seven countries in continental Europe, which provides it with a certain degree of diversification. Another option Tritax Big Box REIT, the UK's largest owner of logistics facilities, now has two data centres in its portfolio and has announced plans to build a new one near Heathrow airport. It anticipates spending £200m on similar properties in 2025 and £100m-£200m annually thereafter. It estimates the annual rental yield will be 9%-11%. Not surprisingly, the trust views the sector as one of its key growth drivers. As part of its expansion plans, Tritax has made an offer to buy Warehouse REIT. If the deal is successful, it will create a combined £7.4bn property portfolio. The takeover target has 409 tenants at 60 sites in England and Scotland. Immediate cost savings of £5.5m a year are expected. The proposed merger reflects a trend in the investment trust industry where stock market valuations are often lower than the value of the underlying assets. This apparent lack of appreciation from investors has frustrated directors and shareholders alike. Tritax presently trades at a 28% discount. Warehouse is valued at 11% less than its book value. Good for income One of the principal attractions of REITs is that to qualify for certain tax exemptions they must return at least 90% of rental profits to shareholders. This means they usually offer generous yields. For example, based on dividends paid over the past 12 months, Tritax is presently (15 August) offering a return of 5.6%. For comparison, Segro's is 4.6%. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only. It is not intended to be, neither does it constitute, any form of tax advice. However, the trust's dividend could come under pressure if interest rates remain at historically high levels. And possible vacancies remain an ever-present threat. But like Segro, I think Tritax has exposure to a sector that's going to see significant growth over the next decade or so. Those that agree with me could consider adding either of them to their portfolios.

CoreWeave (CRWV) Insiders Sell over $1B Worth of Shares as IPO Lock-Up Period Ends
CoreWeave (CRWV) insiders began selling shares today after the AI data center company's IPO lock-up period expired. As a result, this triggered more than $1 billion in block trades that were organized by Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Goldman Sachs (GS). Among those selling was board director Jack Cogen, who sold nearly $300 million worth of stock. Interestingly, even though CoreWeave's stock had plunged by 35% in the previous two days due to disappointing second-quarter results, shares stabilized around the $100 level to close slightly up on the day. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The spike in trading activity happened because about 84% of CoreWeave's Class A shares became available for the first time since its IPO in March. According to the Financial Times, which cited sources close to the matter, banks scrambled on Thursday evening to arrange block trades as large as six to eight million shares. For context, block trades like these allow large investors to sell shares quietly, often at a discount, without overwhelming the market. Nevertheless, while CoreWeave has benefited from the AI infrastructure boom, concerns about its financial health are growing. Indeed, the company reported rising losses and surging operating expenses, which hit $1.2 billion in Q2 – almost four times higher than a year ago. On top of that, CoreWeave is facing investor pushback over its proposed $9 billion acquisition of Core Scientific (CORZ), as some shareholders of the target company have threatened to vote against it unless better terms are offered. It also doesn't help that, as of Thursday, 46% of CoreWeave's tradable shares were being shorted, thereby indicating that many investors are betting that the stock will continue to fall. Is CRWV a Good Stock to Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on CRWV stock based on six Buys, 16 Holds, and two Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average CRWV price target of $115.29 per share implies 15.3% upside potential.
