Alphabet buys Intersect Power for $4.75B
🚨 Our Report
Alphabet will acquire Intersect Power, a data center and clean energy developer, for $4.75B plus debt assumption, giving Google direct control over clean energy infrastructure as model training power needs grow.
🔓 Key Points
The acquisition builds on Alphabet's existing minority stake from an $800M funding round last December, targeting $20B in total commitment by 2030.
Intersect's facilities will be operational by late 2026 and fully completed by 2027. Google will be the primary user, though the industrial parks can host other companies' AI chips.
Energy grid bottlenecks have become a critical constraint for AI companies needing massive power for model training, forcing tech giants to develop alternative approaches to traditional utility partnerships.
🔐 Relevance
This signals a broader shift where major AI players are vertically integrating into energy infrastructure. Companies that control their own energy supply chains gain significant competitive advantages over those dependent on public utilities as AI training costs and power requirements continue scaling exponentially.

Case Study
How AI cut truck maintenance costs
Penske Truck Leasing, a fleet management company, couldn't predict when trucks would break down, causing costly emergency repairs.
Traditional maintenance happened every 5,000 miles or after failures occurred, leading to unexpected downtime and stranded vehicles across routes.
They deployed Catalyst AI with telematics devices that collect 300M data points daily from engine performance and braking systems.
The predictive system catches problems before breakdowns happen, reducing emergency repairs and keeping more trucks operational for customers.
AI News Story
ChatGPT launches “Your Year with ChatGPT”
OpenAI has introduced a feature called “Your Year with ChatGPT,” a personalized year-end review inspired by Spotify Wrapped, available to users in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
The experience is available to non-paying, Plus, and Pro users who have chat history and memory enabled, offering playful “awards” based on usage patterns and generating a custom poem and image summarizing each user’s year.
OpenAI says the feature is “lightweight, privacy-forward, and user-controlled,” marking a move to make ChatGPT more personal as it broadens its consumer reach.
AI News Story
Instacart ends AI pricing test
Instacart has halted its AI-driven pricing tests after a joint report from Consumer Reports and Groundwork Collaborative revealed that shoppers were being charged different prices for identical items.
The study tracked over 400 customers and found price gaps as high as 23% for the same products purchased from the same store on the same day.
The company said the experiment was meant to help retailers with revenue, but it raised consumer concerns. Instacart confirmed all shoppers will see identical prices for identical items, though retailers can still vary pricing across stores.
