Daniel McGahn, chairman, president, and CEO of American Superconductor (AMSC), discussed the company's role in grid modernization during a September 15, 2026, interview with Yahoo Finance. He stated that data centers represent "a very, very small fraction" of AMSC's business, with roughly 20 to 30% tied to traditional energy, and emphasized that the company primarily serves manufacturing and industrial customers, such as semiconductor fabs, by providing equipment that connects them to the electrical grid. McGahn described AMSC as a "bridge to the grid" aimed at building a more resilient power system, noting that grid modernization was a compelling issue before the AI data center build-out. McGahn also addressed financial and operational challenges, saying that higher interest rates do not immediately affect the company due to a backlog of over 12 months, and that product costs are often absorbed as part of project expenses rather than passed on to ratepayers. He identified the main challenge as securing capital investment to bring new capacity online, citing trillion-dollar investments in markets like semiconductors, pipelines, and power. McGahn highlighted AMSC's consistent growth of more than 25% over the last seven years and stated the company's five-year goal is to "power progress" by supporting increased electricity demand.
