The U.S. power grid can't withstand the AI boom

Abstract generation in progress
Deep Tide TechFlow News, June 20 — Recently, the AI boom has caused a sharp increase in electricity demand at data centers across the United States, leading to sustained rises in electricity prices in many regions, with some areas issuing power outage warnings. To alleviate the power supply difficulties, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on the 18th requested regional grid operators to consider new agreements to accelerate the connection process for large electricity consumers such as data centers. The commission also stated that in the future, rules will no longer be formulated based on the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act to proactively consider environmental impacts. According to data from Data Center Map Network, there are currently over 4,000 operational data centers in the U.S., with many more in planning or under construction. However, the construction speed of these data centers far exceeds the commissioning speed of new power plants, and the connection process to the grid is too slow. As a result, major tech giants across the U.S. are doing everything possible to secure power quotas for their data centers. Statistics from the U.S. Electric Power Research Institute show that current data center electricity consumption accounts for about 5% of the total U.S. electricity demand, and by 2035, this share could rise to approximately 20%.
