The New Megawatt Calculus: How the Artificial Intelligence Boom Rewrote the Rules of Power Infrastructure

Executive Overview For decades, the engineering and development of large-scale infrastructure treated power capacity as a straightforward arithmetic quantity. Whether a massive industrial project, manufacturing plant, or traditional enterprise data center required 100 megawatts (MW), 500 MW, or a full gigawatt (GW), developers operated with a linear assumption. They calculated peak load requirements, evaluated local…
