Generating enough power to keep data centers running AI models is a much-publicized problem for the industry, municipalities and power companies.
Even wiring the electrical systems for the power-hungry infrastructure is a critical challenge that sponsors such as Braemont Capital are pursuing.
“Labor has become a limiting factor in recent years,” Braemont principal Eliza Calihan said.
Braemont portfolio company Loenbro LLC provides power systems and a range of construction and maintenance services for data centers and other industries. While the industry has a shortage of skilled electricians, she said, Loenbro has more than 2,000 employees.
