✎ Analysis

Against continuing AI-driven demand, hyperscaler renewable procurement keeps stepping up, and Oracle has now put out a single-shot 2GW RFP. The parallel CCS research funding is notable for bundling power buildout and climate R&D into the same announcement. Still, an RFP is an intent to solicit; how much capacity actually gets contracted, from which technologies, and on what timeline has not been disclosed. Note: no procurement timeline was published.
