⚡️ AI is rewriting America’s power demand

The U.S. is heading for record electricity consumption in both 2026 and 2027 and AI data centers are becoming a major driver.

Electricity use is projected to rise from 4.195 trillion kWh in 2025 to 4.288 trillion in 2026 and 4.356 trillion in 2027.

That’s an additional 161 billion kWh of demand in just two years, as data centers built to train and run increasingly powerful AI systems consume enormous amounts of electricity.
