The Scale of the Problem: A City Inside a Building
To understand the magnitude of the 2,300-gigawatt interconnection backlog, consider this: just one gigawatt powers a city of a million people, like Jacksonville, Florida. The current queue represents 2,300 such cities waiting for a connection—roughly double the entire existing generation capacity of the United States.

But the challenge isn’t just volume; it is density. We are essentially putting that “city” inside a single building. Just five years ago, a server rack used 10 kilowatts. Today, NVIDIA’s next-generation Rubin Ultra platform pushes that to nearly 600 kilowatts per rack.
It is also about volatility. Unlike a city, which draws power smoothly, AI workloads spike violently—up to four times a second. “Can you imagine the havoc that causes?” Inam asks, noting that in tests, these surges created resonances that literally tore the shafts off standard generators. The legacy grid simply cannot handle this physics.
