The Jack Kemp Foundation warns that Americans could see a 70% increase in electricity bills by 2030 unless significant investments are made in grid capacity to meet the surge in demand from datacenters.
The report highlights that datacenters are expected to account for a substantial percentage of power consumption in each US state by 2030, signaling an urgent need for infrastructure upgrades.
Management consultancy Bain & Company echoes warnings that energy use could soon surpass supply, urging utility operators to increase energy generation by up to 26% by 2028.
As AI demand grows, new datacenter construction accelerates, leading to projections of a 160% increase in energy demand in the next two years, putting pressure on existing facilities.
