Data center electricity use could quadruple by 2035
A new report from BloombergNEF predicts that U.S. data centers will consume four times more electricity by 2035, accounting for one-fifth of the nation's total power generation. The surge is driven by AI compute demand, with nearly half of new capacity going to training and inference. The forecast is 83% higher than BloombergNEF's previous estimate, reflecting rapid data center development and strained electrical grids.
