National Grid AI investment is contract-backed and solid
National Grid's $1.75 billion investment in a US AI power firm is underpinned by a firm power purchase agreement with Microsoft, making it a non-speculative, contract-backed project. This adds to a solid five-year investment plan of $90-95 billion, with about 40% allocated to the US Northeast. The AI-driven surge in electricity demand provides a long-term growth engine, de-risking National Grid's future earnings while leveraging existing jurisdictional capabilities.

Burgum argues the US is in an "AI arms race with China" and needs "Energy Addition," criticizing the shutdown of "baseload" in favor of "intermittent" sources. AI data centers require 24/7 uptime (baseload). The administration's policy explicitly favors keeping existing thermal and nuclear plants online to feed this demand. Utilities with existing baseload capacity (Vistra, Constellation) become critical infrastructure assets with pricing power. LONG. Demand (AI) is rising while the administration prevents the supply (Baseload plants) from shrinking. Lower natural gas prices could compress margins for merchant power producers.
