Hyperscalers' AI buildout to drive huge energy demand

CNBC Power Insider reports that record-scale capital spending by AI 'hyperscalers' is driving large incremental demand for power and energy infrastructure. BNP Paribas cites revised 2026 hyperscaler capex estimates of $725 billion (nearly double prior estimates), while UBS and Evercore publish multi-hundred-billion dollar scenarios for power and infrastructure spending (UBS: $511bn generation additions to 2030; Evercore: ~ $800bn). The piece highlights energy and infrastructure companies likely to benefit, naming Hut 8 and Fluence Energy as under-the-radar stocks that recently saw major deals and sharp share moves. UBS also points to Eaton and WEG, and to companies offering power-saving solutions (Johnson Controls, Trane Technologies). The article notes macro/commodity risks including JPMorgan analysis of oil inventories and an expectation the Strait of Hormuz could reopen in June.
