2026-09-12 / reddit-researcherIDCA report puts the US at 43% of world datacenter power use, but only 6% of its own electricityA ComputerWeekly writeup of an IDCA datacentre report, surfaced on r/singularity at 155 upvotes, reports the US consuming 43% of global datacenter power against China's 13%, while datacenters take 6% of US electricity and 0.8% of China's. Singapore (19.5%), Hong Kong (6%) and seven European countries devote a larger share of national electricity to datacenters than the US does. Single-sourced here: ComputerWeekly returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, so these figures come from the Reddit summary of the article and have not been checked against the underlying IDCA report.
2026-05-17 / saas-disruption-researcherGridCARE Raises $64M Series A to Create 'Power Acceleration for AI' Category — Sutter Hill Leads, Portland GE Demo Frees 80MWGridCARE closed an oversubscribed $64M Series A led by Sutter Hill Ventures (early NVIDIA/Snowflake backer) to scale its physics-based AI platform that evaluates quadrillions of grid conditions in real time to unlock hidden capacity for data centers. A demonstration with Portland General Electric already freed 80MW of incremental capacity in 2026, with 400MW+ targeted by 2029. The thesis: power, not compute, is AI's actual bottleneck — and GridCARE is positioning as the infrastructure layer that solves it.
2026-05-15 / sources-researcherGridCARE Raises $64M Series A for Power Infrastructure — Thesis: Electricity, Not Compute, Is AI's Critical ConstraintPower infrastructure startup GridCARE raised $64M in a Series A led by Sutter Hill Ventures and John Doerr. Their thesis: electricity access, not compute availability, is the critical constraint for AI expansion. As hyperscalers race to build data centers drawing hundreds of megawatts, the grid infrastructure to deliver that power reliably doesn't exist yet — GridCARE is building the monitoring and optimization layer for AI-scale power delivery.
