“ De manera conservadora, estamos viendo entre cinco y diez veces más solicitudes de interconexión que centros de datos que realmente se construyen ”La gran divergencia en los pronósticos de demanda de energía de IA a corto plazo sugiere un desafío fundamental que enfrentan las empresas de servicios públicos, los operadores de red y los reguladores del sistema eléctrico hoy en día: las solicitudes especulativas de interconexión de carga, o lo que Bianca Giacobone de Latitude Media en marzo llamó " centros de datos fantasma ".Reacios a alertar a la competencia o a los NIMBY locales, los promotores de centros de datos y sus agentes ocultan la adquisición de terrenos y otras actividades iniciales de desarrollo tras sociedades de responsabilidad limitada (LLC) de nombre impreciso y acuerdos de confidencialidad. Los promotores descartan sin cesar proyectos en fase inicial, pero no hasta el punto de que cada propuesta anunciada públicamente sea un hecho consumado, afirmó Atkinson.Microsoft, por ejemplo , abandonó hasta 2 GW de reservas de capacidad de centros de datos desde enero, mientras que Tract descartó una propuesta de 30 edificios en el área de Phoenix el año pasado en medio de la oposición local.Incluso clientes experimentados de centros de datos como Microsoft, Meta, Amazon y Google proponen varias veces más proyectos de los que probablemente necesitarán debido a la incertidumbre sobre la disponibilidad de energía y los permisos en cada sitio, afirmó Atkinson. Los desarrolladores menos sofisticados abandonan los proyectos propuestos a un ritmo aún mayor, añadió.
Moody’s strips US of top-notch triple-A credit ratingAgency warns of strains caused by rising government debt and a widening budget deficitMoody’s says it expects federal deficits to widen to almost 9% of GDP by 2035, up from 6.4% in 2024 © BloombergMoody’s has stripped the US of its top-notch triple-A credit rating as it warned about rising levels of government debt and a widening budget deficit in the world’s biggest economy.The agency on Friday afternoon cut its credit rating on the US by one notch to Aa1 from Aaa, while its outlook was changed to stable from negative. Fitch and S&P, the other main agencies, had previously removed the US’s pristine rating.The move by Moody’s comes as investors are growing increasingly concerned about the US’s fiscal trajectory. President Donald Trump’s Republican party is pursuing a budget bill that is widely expected to increase debt significantly over the next decade.“While we recognise the US’s significant economic and financial strengths, we believe these no longer fully counterbalance the decline in fiscal metrics,” Moody’s said on Friday afternoon.Moody’s said it expected federal deficits to widen to almost 9 per cent of GDP by 2035, up from 6.4 per cent last year, owing to increased interest payments on debt, entitlement spending and “relatively low revenue generation”.“This one-notch downgrade on our 21-notch rating scale reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns,” the agency wrote.The White House dismissed the downgrade and lashed out at Mark Zandi, Moody’s chief economist.“Nobody takes his ‘analysis’ seriously. He has been proven wrong time and time again.”Zandi was not an author of this report and works for Moody’s Analytics, a separate part of the company that is not part of its ratings business.For the first time in history, the US does not hold a triple-A credit rating from at least one of the three big agencies. S&P in 2011 was the first to strip the country of its pristine rating, while Fitch took the move in 2023.Yesha Yadav, a professor at Vanderbilt Law School who studies the Treasury market, said the Moody’s rate cut was the “latest reality check on an increasingly bleak prognosis for US government debt management”.Yadav added: “While unsurprising . . . it is nevertheless a pretty brutal jolt to an otherwise tense marketplace and a scolding to policymakers to focus urgently on what reforms are needed to ensure that US credit retains its sheen as the world’s essential risk-free asset.”Yields on US government bonds rose in response to the news, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield up 0.05 percentage points on the day to 4.49 per cent. Bond yields rise as prices fall.“The biggest problem out there now is not the tariffs, it is the lack of progress on deficit talks in DC,” said Andy Brenner, head of NatAlliance Securities, referring to duties Trump has imposed on trading partners. The downgrade was “putting pressure on Treasuries”, he added.The Republican budget and tax bill failed to pass in the House of Representatives on Friday after a faction of Trump’s party in Congress argued that the legislation would add too much to the federal deficit.Dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill” by the president, the proposed legislation would extend 2017 Trump-era tax cuts that were due to expire this year, adding a projected $4.2tn to deficits over the next decade. It would also make $663bn in new cuts, while seeking to raise roughly $1tn by eliminating some tax credits and increasing some taxes.The administration believes the tax cuts will boost growth, raise revenues and lower the US’s deficit.The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects that the tax bill could add up to $5.2tn to the national debt over 10 years. The federal debt held by the public currently stands at $29tn.Trump’s trade war and tax-cut plans have drawn warnings from the Federal Reserve and leading economists about their impact on the US economy, while his administration has struggled to reassure the bond market.“This downgrade is the culmination of many, many years of fiscal mismanagement, including but by no means limited to the Trump administration,” said Steven Grey, chief investment officer at Grey Value Management.“This reflects a negative view about America’s capacity to remediate its financial situation,” [/color]said Ann Rutledge, a former senior analyst at Moody’s who is now chief executive of CreditSpectrum.“This decision was a long time in coming and it’s a dire warning.”
