AI data centers have shifted the electric utility industry from a stable, recession-hedging sector to one with significant growth potential and increased risks. Utilities are now valued based on a hybrid model combining the traditional stability of regulated monopolies with expectations of rapid profit growth beyond 2030. The key investment distinction lies between utilities expected to grow at 8% or more annually and those with lower growth forecasts. This transformation reflects changing investor attitudes toward the sector's future profitability and risk profile.
