Energy Companies 'Weren't Prepared' For AI Data Center Boom Says NRG's Caroline Golin

The rapid growth of AI has outstripped the existing energy infrastructure, according to Caroline Golin, chief growth and policy officer at NRG Energy. As the U.S. continues to expand its data centers, energy companies haven't been ready to meet the surge in power demands. Despite the current grid pressure, Golin emphasizes that the industry is actively working to ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place for future growth. This issue underscores the urgent need for adaptation in the energy sector to keep up with technological advancements.
