Chief executive John Pettigrew said the grid was becoming “constrained” and “bold action” was needed to create a network able to cope with “dramatically” growing demand.
“Future growth in foundational technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing will mean larger scale, energy-intensive computing infrastructure,” Mr Pettigrew said.
due to […] quantum computing.
[x] doubt
how come doubt? Amazon, IBM, Google, and Microsoft have already launched commercial quantum-computing cloud services.
so far there is no significant quanum advantage, i.e. most things you can do on a quantum computer, you can do cheaper on a regular computer. Therefor there is not much value in quantum computing. Therefor I doubt we will see a significant surge in power-use due to quantum computing in the next 10 years
The video you posted is from 2022, the same lady has another one from 9 days ago and 13 days ago which are much less anti

Going by this timeline wonder how her content will be framing quantum computing in the next couple of years
haha let alone what she’d be posting or quantum computing will be able to do within your /the OP’s article’s 10 year timeline
Who owns our grid? Since the profits for the supply go private.
Is the grid private too or do we just pay to subsidise the profits of the energy companies?
National Grid PLC own the grid infrastructure, and are a private company cos Thatcher.
