Asia’s Race to Power AI
In this episode, Morgan Stanley Asia Energy Analyst Mayank Maheshwari explains how the rapid expansion of AI is driving a massive energy build‑out across Asia’s power grids, generation assets, storage, and fuel supplies. He highlights that Asia could see a $5 trillion‑plus investment surge in energy over the next five years, with annual spending approaching $1 trillion, as power demand may rise by 38 exajoules (about 4 trillion kWh more than 2025) and data centers alone could consume one‑sixth of new power. The discussion underscores the critical bottlenecks in grid infrastructure, transformer lead times, and the need for baseload sources—coal, gas, nuclear—and massive battery storage to balance renewables. Maheshwari stresses that energy security is local, affecting electricity prices, fuel availability, and even food supply, making this the largest energy expansion Asia has seen in decades.
