Powering the AI Era:

How Switchgear and Transformer Manufacturers Can Lead the Data Center Boom

The fastest way for switchgear and transformer manufacturers to ride the data-center boom is to accept a simple premise: power, not floor space or fiber, is the new gating factor. Hyperscale and AI facilities are running into grid constraints at the exact moment their rack densities are exploding, and the companies that win will be those that can deliver megawatt-scale capacity quickly, safely, and with architectures tuned for liquid-cooled, GPU-heavy loads. Recent market signals have been unambiguous. The International Energy Agency now expects global data-center electricity use to more than double by 2030, rising from roughly 415 TWh in 2024 to about 945 TWh, with the United States and China accounting for the bulk of that growth. Demand growth is being driven disproportionately by AI clusters, even as average PUE improvements stall and power availability becomes the operator’s top worry. For manufacturers, that means the bottleneck is upstream power equipment: substations, MV switchgear, and transformers; and the opportunity is to remove those bottlenecks with product and delivery models purpose-built for AI deployments.
