• Schneider Electric leaders to share actionable strategies to strengthen U.S. grid reliability, resiliency, and efficiency at BNEF 2025

NEW YORK, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today shared details on its participation at the 2025 BloombergNEF (BNEF) Summit and released two new reports showing how rapid artificial intelligence (AI) expansion, which is projected to contribute up to 50% of U.S. electricity demand growth by 2030, can serve as a powerful catalyst for modernizing and strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure. The company also announced it has facilitated more than $1.7 billion in clean energy tax credit transfer transactions since late 2023, accelerating investment that drives resilient, efficient power solutions across the United States.

New Report: Powering Sustainable AI in the United States

As the industry gathers at BNEF to tackle the most pressing energy and sustainability challenges, Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Research Institute is contributing new research to inform the conversation. The new report, Powering Sustainable AI in the United States, builds on recent findings by the International Energy Agency (IEA), examining how AI is set to dramatically increase electricity demand and what this means for the future of energy infrastructure. Key findings include:

  • AI will drive up to 50% of U.S. electricity demand growth by 2030: Rapid adoption of AI technologies is creating a surge in electricity demand, outpacing other electrification drivers like transport and heating.
  • Data center expansion is on a collision course with infrastructure limitations: Projected increases of 43–92 GW in data center capacity by 2030 face major hurdles from outdated grid interconnection processes, permitting delays, and supply chain bottlenecks.
  • Infrastructure deficits could impede AI development: The “Limits to Growth” scenario warns that without grid modernization, energy scarcity will constrain innovation and global competitiveness, especially if mitigation efforts focus only on power efficiency.
  • Unchecked demand growth risks triggering system-wide inefficiencies: In an “Abundance Without Boundaries” scenario, AI power demand could reach 500 TWh by 2030, which would overwhelm grid capacity, drive up consumer costs and encourage oversized, inefficient infrastructure.
  • An unmanaged surge could result in a national or regional energy crisis: Without significant investment in flexibility, distributed energy, and behind-the-meter solutions, power demand could exceed 173 GW by 2030, placing critical pressure on the grid and exposing seven regional operators, including MISO, PJM, and ERCOT, to reserve shortfalls by 2028.

“The rapid and widespread adoption of AI coupled with the soaring demand for electricity are fundamentally reshaping America’s energy landscape”, said Aamir Paul, Schneider Electric’s President of North America Operations. “With concerted efforts and strategic investments, we can ensure that AI’s growth is supported by a robust, efficient, and resilient energy infrastructure, paving the way for greater sustainability.”

The New Reality of Data Center Power

These findings from Schneider Electric Sustainability Research Institute align with new data from AlphaStruxure, Schneider Electric, and Data Center Frontier based on a survey of nearly 150 senior industry professionals on how the U.S. data center sector is adapting to the unfolding energy crunch. The survey results point to an increasingly stark picture of an industry at the nexus between spiking demand and constrained supply. Top findings include:

  • It’s taking longer and longer to secure more grid capacity: 44% of respondents indicate their average quoted utility wait times are longer than 4 years
  • The grid is the top concern for new data center projects: #1 barrier slowing down data center projects is grid constraints, with 92% seeing it as the most significant obstacle
  • The industry is turning to new regions to get the power it needs: #1 region for “Plan B” power availability if the first choice couldn’t provide timely power is the Midwest
  • Industry insiders see one region as having the fastest time to power: #1 region for fastest time to power in recent years is the Mountain West
  • As the data centers chase electrons, the industry is increasingly thinking outside the grid: 6 in 10 reported they would deploy on-site power generation systems if they ran into concerns about power availability — the top-ranked option

“I’ve been in the power industry over 30 years, and I have never seen a moment like this,” said Juan Macias, CEO of AlphaStruxure. “The findings from this first-of-its-kind survey show the breadth and depth of the energy demand crisis, confirming what we’ve heard anecdotally from our conversations with customers. Wait times are stretching to seven years, even a decade in some cases. This survey also shows how the industry is innovating in the face of grid constraints, including on-site power generation.”

Mangrove’s solution will enable Carbon Alpha to track CO2 in real time and streamline the verification of carbon credits from the North Star project.

CALGARY, AB, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Carbon Alpha, a Canadian carbon dioxide removal (CDR) project developer, has selected Mangrove Systems (Mangrove) as its digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (digital MRV) solution provider for its North Star carbon removal project. This strategic partnership brings together a leading biomass-based carbon removal initiative with a leading digital MRV solution to ensure transparency and trust in every ton of CO2 removed.

North Star, a partnership between Carbon Alpha and Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC), is a groundbreaking CDR initiative focused on biogenic carbon removal. The North Star project —the first-of-its-kind in Canada — will capture carbon dioxide from the MLTC Bioenergy Centre and store it deep underground in Saskatchewan’s well defined geological formations. The project is designed as a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) solution, converting sustainably sourced forestry waste into renewable energy and capturing the resulting biogenic CO2 for permanent storage. North Star is expected to generate approximately 90,000 high-quality carbon removal credits annually while providing local economic benefits and advancing Canada’s net-zero goals.

By integrating Mangrove’s digital MRV solution into North Star’s operations, Carbon Alpha will achieve real-time tracking of the entire carbon removal process – from biomass delivery and CO2 capture through to injection and storage. All data from field sensors, capture equipment, and storage sites will be consolidated into one secure system, providing a continuous, auditable record of carbon removal performance. This ensures complete, accurate, and verifiable CO2 removal data for every tonne captured, reinforcing Carbon Alpha’s commitment to transparency and enabling efficient oversight by verification bodies and stakeholders.

Mangrove’s digital MRV solution is known for its robust capabilities in data management, automation, and reporting for carbon projects. The solution consolidates operational data across capture, transport, and storage, giving project developers a unified carbon system of record to drive key decisions on commercialization and compliance. By providing end-to-end traceability of each molecule of CO2, Mangrove’s solution ensures complete visibility across the entire carbon removal process, fostering trust and confidence among stakeholders. Importantly, it also streamlines the carbon credit issuance process: the system can automatically compile the necessary reporting for independent validation and verification, and interface with carbon registries to accelerate credit issuance and serialization. For Carbon Alpha, this means the credits generated by North Star’s removals can be issued more efficiently and with full confidence in their integrity.

“This partnership marks a major step forward in our mission to deliver credible, measurable climate solutions,” said Patrick Elliott, COO of Carbon Alpha. “By leveraging Mangrove’s digital MRV solution, we can ensure that every tonne of CO2 we remove is accounted for with the highest degree of accuracy and transparency. Mangrove’s solution gives us and our stakeholders confidence that North Star’s carbon removal impact is real, permanent, and verifiable.”

“At Mangrove, we are thrilled to support innovative projects like North Star that push the boundaries of carbon removal,” said Brandon Vlaar, CEO of Mangrove Systems. “Carbon Alpha’s dedication to high-integrity carbon removal reflects the type of bold, scalable projects we aim to empower with our digital MRV technology. This collaboration demonstrates how digital MRV can underpin scalable carbon removal by providing the data integrity needed to engage partners, regulators, and credit buyers.”

Gen Blog | Insights

Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump’s administration has taken significant steps to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI. Efforts have been focused on accelerating AI innovation while curbing the flow of advanced technologies to geopolitical rivals. To foster growth, regulatory barriers are being eased, and Project Stargate is set to transform the nation’s AI infrastructure.

As AI rapidly evolves, policymakers must strike a balance between driving innovation and addressing risks related to misinformation, security, safety, and ethics. Gen has outlined key recommendations for responsible AI development, aligning with its ongoing policy efforts in the EU and core principles of Integrity, Accountability, Data Protection, Human Involvement, and Transparency.

The following is an overview of the recommendations, and you can take a deeper dive into them in our U.S. AI Policy Recommendations.

Recommendations for U.S. Policymakers 

As the U.S. enters this new era of emerging technology, shaping its AI strategy requires a framework that promotes responsible innovation while addressing its complex challenges. To achieve this, targeted policy measures must enhance accountability, consumer protection, transparency, security, safety, and public awareness.

The following recommendations from Gen outline key actions for U.S. policymakers to ensure AI’s safe and ethical development while strengthening America’s tech leadership. These build upon our commitment to five core policy principles: Integrity, Accountability, Data Protection, Human Involvement, and Transparency.

Our recommendations include:

  1. Support and enact a nationwide AI law to regulate AI’s development, use, security, and safety in a balanced way
  2. Strengthen consumer protection policies at the state level to safeguard individuals from fraudulent, dangerous, or defective AI technologies.
  3. Regulate AI development and use by organizations to ensure responsible and ethical technologies.
  4. Raise public awareness on AI risks through national education campaigns to inform Americans about content authenticity and the risks of sharing personal data online.
  5. Establish clear guidelines on the ownership, rights, and ethical use of AI-generated data, including data used for training AI models, the recycling of AI-generated content, and the responsible deployment of digital avatars and personas.
  6. Combat deepfakes and misinformation through legal frameworks that address and work toward eliminating them to secure public trust.
  7. Mandate AI transparency by requiring AI companies to disclose information about their systems and provide clarity in how their models operate and make decisions.
  8. Ensure regulatory certainty of AI standards to prevent regulatory ambiguity and foster innovation by giving companies confidence in compliance requirements.

While these recommendations lay a strong foundation for responsible AI governance, policymakers must also take a proactive role in areas where long-term technological progress is critical, but incentives are lacking. Key priorities include:

  1. Investing in Fundamental Scientific Research: AI has the potential to drive groundbreaking discoveries in physics, chemistry, and other foundational sciences. Government funding for this research will be critical to unlocking the transformative advancements of AI in the coming decades, even if it may not yield immediate profits.
  2. Preparing for Workforce Transition: AI-driven automation will reshape entire job sectors, affecting workers from rideshare drivers to software developers. Proactive workforce transition programs, including reskilling initiatives and adult education, can help guarantee that the benefits of AI are broadly shared and do not deepen economic divides.
  3. Advancing Next-Generation Computing Materials: Silicon has powered the digital era, but new materials may offer superior speed, efficiency, and scalability. However, these alternatives face adoption challenges. Rather than focusing solely on AI model development, the U.S. government should spearhead research and infrastructure efforts to advance these cutting-edge materials and lay the groundwork for the next wave of computing innovation.

    A Call for Responsible Growth 

The U.S. stands at a pivotal moment in the AI revolution. While innovation drives progress, responsible governance must ensure that AI benefits society as a whole. By investing in foundational scientific research, preparing the American workforce for AI-driven changes, and promoting next-generation computing materials, the U.S. can secure its leadership in the global AI race while fostering long-term economic stability and technological progress.

Finally, balancing innovation with accountability requires collaboration between governments, industry, and global partners. For more insights on Gen’s policy approach, read our full U.S. AI Policy Recommendations and Digital Freedom in the EU.
