This share is presently at 5.9% and is projected to increase to about 12% by 2030.
Due to the swift rise in demand within the artificial intelligence industry, BNEF predicts that electricity consumption for data centers in the nation will hit 194.3 GW by 2035. This is 83% greater than the forecasts made in December.
Last year, this number was 47.3 GW, and is projected to rise to 117.8 GW by 2030.
The substantial rise in demand from AI-centric data centers is already putting considerable pressure on the nation's power grid.
Experts warn that sustaining such swift growth in demand may result in electricity shortages, as power providers struggle to bring enough new capacity online.
