A new paper by economist Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh estimates that completing a 188-gigawatt US power and data-center buildout by 2032 would require total investment of almost $9 trillion, equal to about 3.2 percent of US GDP in annual spending from 2025 to 2032. The figure is drawing attention as analysts weigh how the AI boom will be funded and what strain it could place on capital markets.
Why now: Investors and policymakers are intensely debating the enormous financing needs of the AI-driven data center and power expansion in the United States.
