(Image source: Adobe Stock \/ Victoriia)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, the European Union also promised investments of \u20ac200 billion. According to a Gartner study, however, expenditures for AI data centers are expected to rise only by a third to $180.62 billion in 2025, after investments had multiplied by five in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The market researchers attribute their cautious forecasts to various factors. As the main reason, Gartner analyst John-David Lovelock cited various bottlenecks in an interview with the news agency Reuters: &#8220;The factories of Nvidia and other chip manufacturers are already at almost 100 percent capacity,&#8221; he was quoted by the Handelsblatt. Difficulties are also caused by the search for new locations and the often insufficient power supply. You as an IT decision-maker should ask your IT team five critical questions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to get the power?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from that, one should not forget that a large part of the announced billion-dollar investments will initially flow into the infrastructure and less into the high-performance AI computers. Overall, the construction of new AI data centers is likely to become even more expensive and take longer.<\/p>\n<p>Many data center operators and power plant builders, such as Siemens or the hyperscaler AWS, are already flirting with a return to nuclear power due to the lack of energy supply, using so-called mini-reactors. These are considered safer, which critics doubt again because with a larger number of small nuclear power plants, state control could be lost. Additionally, the problem of final storage and disposal remains. Therefore, US President Trump recently relaxed regulations for coal-fired power plants, while China, as the largest operator, has reduced the construction of these plants in favor of renewable energy sources in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>Why are AI investments slowing down in 2025?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6\">According to Gartner, chip shortages, location issues, and power shortages are slowing down growth. Expenditures are only increasing by a third to 180.62 billion dollars.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>What role does Nvidia play in expanding AI data centers?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6\">Nvidia&#8217;s factories are nearly fully utilized. The chip shortage at Nvidia and other manufacturers is slowing down the construction of new data centers.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>Why are companies considering the use of mini nuclear reactors?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6\">Many data center operators and companies like AWS are examining mini nuclear reactors due to insufficient power supply. They are considered safer but are also controversial.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>How is the US government responding to energy issues at AI data centers?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6\">President Trump has eased regulations on coal power plants to improve energy supply for data centers.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>How is China addressing energy supply for AI data centers?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6\">In 2024, China reduced the construction of coal power plants in favor of renewable energy sources, although it remains the largest operator of such plants.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<h2>More from the MBF Media Network<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.securitytoday.de\" target=\"_blank\">SecurityToday<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/mybusinessfuture.com\" target=\"_blank\">MyBusinessFuture<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digital-chiefs.de\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Chiefs<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>Source of title image: Adobe Stock\/ sdecoret<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chip shortages and power issues are slowing down the global expansion of AI data centers &#8211; despite record investments in the US and Europe.","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":26211,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-adv":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image-id":0,"_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image-id":0,"pre_headline":"","bildquelle":"","teasertext":"","language":"de","_evm_slot_owner":"","_evm_translation_lang":"","featured_post":0,"featured_post_sortierung":0,"_wp_old_slug":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[931],"tags":[207,782,297,783],"industry":[],"class_list":["post-37475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","tag-digitalisierung","tag-ki-infrastruktur","tag-rechenzentren","tag-stromversorgung"],"evm_reading_time_minutes":4,"wpml_language":"en","wpml_translation_of":26198,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
