Benzinga quoted Scott Zack in an exclusive Private Markets report, “AI data center demand sparks energy investment rush, raises valuation concerns.” The piece draws on PitchBook research on energy startups that stand to benefit as AI data centers drive up electricity demand, and asks investors whether the prices being paid for those companies make sense.
