Sidley publishes a podcast on energy supply and AI demand
Sidley said it published an Accelerating Energy podcast episode asking whether energy supply can keep up with the AI boom, in which Ken Irvin spoke with Houlihan Lokey’s Xander Hector and Mario Manna. The firm said the discussion covered project bankability for data-center demand, equipment backlogs, rising costs, interconnection delays and regulatory timelines, and how to distinguish sustainable demand from speculative forecasts.
