Power in the next Ai bottle neck

Data centers are multiplying fast, but the grid can’t keep up. Power is now the hardest constraint in AI expansion — not chips, not software. These are the companies building, fueling, and delivering that electricity.

$VST — Largest competitive power generator in the US. Signs direct power purchase agreements with hyperscalers like Microsoft. Data centers want 24/7 reliable power — VST delivers it at scale.

$VRT — Vertiv makes the cooling, power distribution, and thermal management hardware inside data centers. Every server rack needs it. Direct picks-and-shovels play on AI compute expansion.

$OKLO — Developing compact nuclear reactors that could sit on-site at data centers, giving hyperscalers dedicated carbon-free power. Pre-revenue, high risk, long timeline — but the vision is powering AI directly with nuclear.

$CCJ $CCO— As nuclear becomes the preferred power source for data centers, uranium demand rises. CCJ is the dominant Western uranium miner, supplying the fuel the whole thesis depends on.

$ETN — Data centers can’t function without electrical infrastructure. Eaton makes the transformers, breakers, and power distribution units that get electricity from the grid into the building safely. Massive order backlog driven by data center buildout.

$POWL — Powell Industries builds custom switchgear and electrical control systems. Data centers, like industrial plants, need precisely engineered electrical rooms. POWL captures that specialized infrastructure spend.
