A Bloomberg analysis assessed readings from 770,000 homes, finding that over 75% of "highly distorted power readings" are within 50 miles of significant data center activity.
Data centers in the U.S. are consuming such massive amounts of power that they may be impacting the electricity flow to millions, especially with rising AI demands.
Researchers estimate AI centers could require three to five times more power than traditional data facilities, placing additional strain on already stressed power grids.
Major tech companies are seeking alternative energy sources for their data centers as they invest billions into infrastructure to support increasingly demanding AI applications.
