Building AI in the United States is a national security and economic imperative. As AI
systems grow more capable, the energy and computational requirements to train and
deploy frontier AI are surging. Recent estimates by outside experts and our own research
at Anthropic suggest that the U.S. AI sector is on track to require at least 50 gigawatts of
electric capacity by 2028, much of which will be needed to train the world’s most capable
models.
America has the economic strength and technical expertise to meet these needs. But doing
so will require addressing regulatory challenges—as well as supply chain, financial, and
labor bottlenecks—to unlock America’s innovative potential. While this task will not be easy,
the United States has ample options to enable the buildout of AI infrastructure in time to
sustain our AI leadership in the coming years. And the executive branch—as this report
explains—can unlock this potential without new authorities for Congress, if it chooses.
Pillar 1 of our report outlines a three-part strategy for enabling frontier AI training in the
United States, which will require delivering large amounts of energy to specific data
centers at several locations. First, we suggest steps to accelerate permits for data centers
and energy infrastructure—including by reviewing projects expeditiously and giving
developers the option to build on federal lands, alongside private lands, when doing so aids
permitting. Second, we propose actions to speed up targeted transmission buildouts to
connect AI training facilities to power. Third, we outline steps to collaborate with utilities
on accelerating interconnections to the electric grid, with options for requiring certain
interconnections if necessary for national security.
As for spurring AI’s wider deployment across the economy, many options in Pillar 1 will be
useful, too. But diffusing AI nationwide will require a broader-based effort to unlock energy
and data center buildouts around the country. To this end, Pillar 2 of our report outlines
further steps to ease permitting and power procurement barriers, invest in energy
infrastructure, and strengthen critical workforces and supply chains in all regions of the
country.
