The rapid expansion of AI technologies has significantly increased electricity demand from data centers across the United States, leading to higher electricity prices and power outage warnings in some regions. In response, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has instructed regional grid operators to expedite interconnection processes for large electricity consumers, including data centers. Additionally, FERC announced it will no longer conduct proactive environmental impact assessments under NEPA for new rule developments. Currently, over 4,000 data centers operate in the U.S., with many more under construction, outpacing the commissioning of new power plants. This imbalance has driven major tech companies to aggressively secure electricity allocations for their facilities. According to the Electric Power Research Institute, data centers now consume about 5% of the nation's electricity, a figure expected to rise to 20% by 2035.
