The article is a bullish commentary on nVent Electric’s growth outlook, driven by rising power utility infrastructure spending tied to grid expansion and AI data center electricity demand. It says nVent’s power utility business posted double-digit sales growth in Q1 2026 and could become the company’s second-largest growth driver after data centers. Management plans about $130 million of capex in 2026, a 40% increase, with much of it aimed at utility and data center capacity. The article also highlights the EPG acquisition as a contributor to stronger exposure to utility projects and electrical integration opportunities.
