Berkshire Hathaway's energy division is poised for growth as the artificial intelligence industry drives increased power demand. CEO Greg Abel highlighted at the annual shareholder meeting that half of the company's energy businesses are now addressing AI-related power needs. In Iowa, the utility service area has expanded with the construction of four mega data centers, which now account for 8% of the region's peak electricity load. The company projects that data center electricity consumption could rise by an additional 5 to 10 percentage points over the next five years, potentially reaching 50% in the long term. This surge in demand positions AI-driven power needs as a key growth area for Berkshire Hathaway's energy sector.
