A report by Schneider Electric forecasts that by 2030, the US electricity grid will operate with minimal safety margins, raising concerns about its stability and reliability. The analysis indicates that energy requirements are surging, especially driven by datacenter growth, leading to predictions that seven of the 13 NERC regions will face heightened risks of outages and blackouts. Without significant increases in energy generation—up to 26% by 2028—utilities could struggle to meet the rising demands, echoing concerns raised by Bain & Company regarding emerging power shortages in the coming years.
By 2030, the US electricity grid is forecasted to be tightly constrained, with minimal safety margins, raising concerns about stability and reliability.
A surge in energy requirements has emerged, driven by unexpected demand increases, with predictions suggesting utilities must boost energy generation significantly to avoid shortfalls.
