The article discusses the burgeoning power demands from artificial intelligence, notably generative AI like ChatGPT, which is projected to consume a significant portion of U.S. electricity in the coming years. With forecasts indicating a 191% increase in power usage by 2027, the existing power grid infrastructure may struggle to keep pace. Current efficiency measures are insufficient and projected power consumption from data centers could rise from 2% to 7.5% of U.S. electricity by 2030. This situation highlights the urgent need for energy infrastructure modernization to support AI advancements.
Data center power consumption is predicted to grow from around 2% of U.S. electricity today to 7.5% by 2030, reflecting the increasing demand for AI capabilities.
Gen AI use cases like ChatGPT may account for 75% of U.S. data center power utilization by 2025, highlighting the urgent need for energy infrastructure improvements.
