TechLine Mfg. Ready to Support the Surge in Power Plant Construction for Data and AI Boom

Some sources say that a typical ChatGPT query requires 10 times the power as a typical Google search. Others argue that the number is too high but there is no doubt that the push for artificial intelligence (AI) queries and usage is driving major new power requirements in the US and around the world. The explosive growth of AI and hyperscale data centers has triggered a nationwide push to build new power plants, particularly natural gas-fired and renewable generation facilities, to meet the enormous and continuous energy demand. Unlike traditional commercial infrastructure, AI data centers consume power at levels comparable to small cities—sometimes requiring hundreds of megawatts of dedicated capacity per site. To keep pace, utilities and developers are fast-tracking construction of peaker plants (used in times of high demand), combined-cycle facilities, and even small modular nuclear reactors, with many projects already underway or set to break ground in the next 12 to 24 months.

This energy infrastructure buildout is creating a ripple effect throughout the industrial supply chain, driving demand for a wide range of products, including electrical and instrumentation supports that can be deployed quickly, perform reliably, and scale with project needs. These projects require not only massive electrical infrastructure but also reliable, durable support systems to handle complex cable routing and instrumentation.
TechLine Mfg., a leader in instrumentation and electrical supports, is uniquely positioned to deliver high-performance channel tray systems and related products essential for this next generation of energy facilities. The company’s reputation for innovation, flexible manufacturing capabilities, and a portfolio of large-scale energy projects across the country make it an easy choice for these products. As these new plants are built to power the digital future, TechLine Mfg.’s role in supporting this electrical infrastructure will be more critical than ever.

TechLine Mfg.’s proven product line includes an extensive offering of channel tray, including its signature Snap Track ventilated channel product that is installed quickly, saves labor, and reduces total installed costs. Other products include instrument stands, electrical racks, and accessories—all designed for fast installation, low maintenance, and long service life in demanding industrial environments. The company’s inventory levels, customer service culture, and ability to support design and installation requirements ensure project timelines stay on track, a crucial advantage when working under the aggressive schedules typical of power plant builds. With a reputation for durability and engineering precision, TechLine Mfg.’s products meet the rigorous standards required for electrical distribution systems in power generation facilities.

Equally important is TechLine Mfg.’s ability to collaborate with engineers, contractors, and distribution networks from project inception through completion. By offering design support, product selection assistance, and flexible manufacturing capabilities, TechLine Mfg. ensures that clients have the right solutions in place for cable management and instrumentation support—even as project scopes evolve.
