Data Center Revolution: Rewiring the Data Center -- Drew Baglino on Power, Scale, and the AI Boom
In this episode of Data Center Revolution, Kirk Offel sits down with Drew Baglino, founder and CEO of Heron Power and an 18-year Tesla engineering veteran, to examine the power architecture behind the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure. Drawing on his experience with power electronics, the Tesla Supercharger network, energy storage, and Megapack, Drew explores whether the industry’s greatest constraint is electricity generation—or the equipment required to move, convert, store, and reliably deliver that electricity.

Financial Times: The century-old device choking the world’s AI push
It was during his 18 years at Tesla that Drew Baglino realised how inadequate the US energy grid had become. The technology connecting to the network was advancing rapidly, but the infrastructure underpinning it had changed little for decades.The economy of the 21st century is still drawing on a power system built in the 19th century, he says. “It just isn’t able to keep up.”
