Global artificial intelligence deployment is accelerating power infrastructure needs, leading to a significant expansion in engineering and construction contracts for a major multinational firm. The company has secured over $12 billion in new infrastructure projects since late 2024, primarily focused on high-capacity data center facilities.
- AI data centers now consume 450 terawatt-hours annually, driving global power demand
- Engineering firm’s project backlog reached $18.7 billion by Q4 2025
- Over $12 billion in new infrastructure contracts secured since late 2024
- 37% YoY revenue growth in infrastructure services for fiscal 2025
- Expansion into 12 new markets, including Texas, Germany, and Singapore
- Stock price up 28% over the past 12 months amid rising AI infrastructure demand
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence across industries has triggered a transformative shift in global electricity consumption patterns, creating unprecedented demand for specialized power infrastructure. This shift has directly benefited a leading engineering and construction firm with a global footprint, which has seen its project backlog grow to $18.7 billion as of Q4 2025. The company’s core focus on large-scale data center builds, energy grid upgrades, and renewable integration has positioned it at the forefront of meeting AI-driven energy requirements. The surge in demand stems from AI systems requiring up to 10 times more energy per operation than traditional computing workloads. Data centers supporting AI models now consume approximately 450 terawatt-hours annually—equivalent to the total electricity use of a mid-sized country. In response, the engineering firm has expanded operations in North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia, where governments and private tech firms are investing heavily in next-generation infrastructure. Recent contracts include a 220-megawatt power delivery system in Texas, a 150-megawatt grid interconnection project in Germany, and a series of modular data center campuses across Singapore and Malaysia. Financially, the company reported a 37% year-over-year increase in revenue from infrastructure services during fiscal 2025, with margins expanding to 14.3% due to standardized design models and vertical integration across supply chains. Stock performance reflects investor confidence, with shares rising 28% in the past 12 months despite broader market volatility. The company’s ability to deliver turnkey solutions—spanning site development, power integration, and cooling systems—has become a key differentiator in a competitive landscape. The impact extends beyond the firm, influencing regional energy policies, construction employment, and long-term grid planning. Utilities and energy providers are now collaborating with engineering firms to pre-emptively upgrade distribution networks in high-density AI deployment zones, while local governments are offering tax incentives to attract AI infrastructure investments.
