The Data Center Power Surge:
What You Need to Know

The Critical Numbers:

Explosive Growth: U.S. data center electricity consumption is set to grow from 150 TWh in 2023 to between 214 TWh and 675 TWh by 2030 (EPRI, DOE, McKinsey).
AI’s Impact: AI-optimized servers alone could require 500 TWh per year by 2027—a staggering 2.6x increase from 2023 levels (Gartner).
Regional Power Strain: Key power markets such as PJM, ERCOT, and ISO-NE expect an additional 40 GW to 50 GW of load growth, with some regions like Virginia’s Data Center Alley projected to consume 50% of total grid demand by 2030 (Aurora Energy Research, EPRI, Goldman Sachs).

The Industry Implications:

Power Shortages & Energy Independence: By 2027, 40% of AI data centers could face power constraints (Gartner), forcing operators to secure long-term energy deals outside of the grid—leading to higher electricity costs and reliability concerns.
Rising Power Prices: AI-driven demand could push wholesale power prices up by 30% by 2035, impacting budgets and business models across industries.
Sustainability vs. Availability: The rush for power may challenge companies’ zero-carbon goals, as immediate energy needs take precedence over clean energy transitions.
