Power is the new currency of AI
Power is the new currency of AI
AI is accelerating faster than the grid that feeds it.
The infrastructure built for cloud is straining under the weight of AI’s energy demand.
Every new model adds load. Every inference draws power. AI racks now consume up to 10 × more energy than cloud equivalents, while vacancy rates across the world’s data centres are at record lows. Over 50 million sq ft of new capacity is planned globally—double five years ago—but the grid was never designed for this era.
By 2030, data-centre power consumption is expected to rise 160 % over 2023 levels. The bottleneck is no longer capital. It’s capacity and current.
The next five years will belong to those who can align capital, energy and sovereignty into a single architecture—where modular design, power density and control coexist.
What this means for sovereignty
Ilkari’s flagship facility in Tocancipá was built precisely for this equation. It delivers high-density racks in a fully modular environment, certified TIA-942-C Rated 3 for Design and Constructed Facility and DCOS Level 4. And more than 70% our power in our Colombia data centre, comes from sustainable sources.
That combination makes it the only data centre in Colombia capable of sustaining true AI-grade density with sovereign control over every kilowatt, workload and byte.
