Frequently Asked Questions
What is The AI Grid Report?
The AI Grid Report is a research publication focused on how electricity infrastructure is shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
AI infrastructure requires enormous amounts of power. Yet the electric grid evolves slowly, constrained by transmission timelines, interconnection queues, and generation development cycles.
The AI Grid Report analyzes how these infrastructure realities may influence the geography, economics, and pace of AI development.
Who is this publication for?
The AI Grid Report is written for readers working at the intersection of capital, infrastructure, and energy.
Our audience includes:
• macro investors
• infrastructure and energy investors
• data center developers
• electricity market participants
• policymakers studying AI infrastructure
• executives building large-scale AI systems
If you are interested in how electricity infrastructure may shape the next phase of the AI economy, this publication is designed for you.
Why focus on electricity infrastructure?
AI development is often discussed as a software or semiconductor story.
But large-scale AI infrastructure depends on electricity availability.
Data centers require reliable power at massive scale. Meanwhile the electric grid evolves slowly due to transmission timelines, permitting processes, and infrastructure development cycles.
As AI deployment accelerates, electricity infrastructure may become one of the defining constraints of the AI economy.
The AI Grid Report focuses specifically on understanding that constraint.
What is the AI Grid Constraint Index™?
The AI Grid Constraint Index™ tracks emerging infrastructure pressure points across major U.S. electricity markets.
The index evaluates factors such as:
• transmission build timelines
• interconnection queue dynamics
• generation pipeline development
• regional electricity market conditions
The goal is to help readers understand where infrastructure limitations may influence the expansion of AI infrastructure.
How often do you publish?
The AI Grid Report publishes weekly research articles analyzing infrastructure developments affecting the AI economy.
From time to time we also publish longer deep-dive reports focused on specific regions or infrastructure developments.
What is the difference between free and paid subscriptions?
Free subscribers receive:
• selected public research articles
• major infrastructure insights
• occasional deep dives
Paid members receive:
• full access to all research
• updates to the AI Grid Constraint Index™
• regional electricity market deep dives
• early access to major research reports
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time through your Substack account settings.
Will previous issues remain available?
Yes.
All past issues of The AI Grid Report will remain available in the publication archive for subscribers.
Do I need to be an energy expert to read this publication?
No.
The goal of the report is to explain electricity infrastructure dynamics in a way that is accessible to investors, operators, and policy analysts who may not specialize in electricity markets.
Technical concepts are explained where necessary so readers can follow the analysis.
Why start this publication now?
Artificial intelligence infrastructure is expanding rapidly.
At the same time, electricity infrastructure development remains slow and highly constrained.
Understanding how those two systems interact may become increasingly important as the AI economy develops.
The AI Grid Report exists to track that intersection.
