Data centers expected to use 4x more electricity by 2035
A new report from BloombergNEF predicts that data centers will use one-fifth of the electricity generated in the U.S. by 2035, four times that of today. This surge in AI compute will push data center capacity to nearly 200 gigawatts over the next decade, with the majority of new data centers connecting to electrical gr
A new report from BloombergNEF predicts that data centers will use one-fifth of the electricity generated in the U.S. by 2035, four times that of today. This surge in AI compute will push data center capacity to nearly 200 gigawatts over the next decade, with the majority of new data centers connecting to electrical grids that are already strained. Operators and builders need to be prepared to handle the changes in electricity demand and find ways to reduce energy consumption.

- Data centers are expected to use one-fifth of the electricity generated in the U.S. by 2035, four times that of today.
- A surge in AI compute will push data center capacity to nearly 200 gigawatts over the next decade.
- By 2033, the U.S. will host 64% of AI chips by power demand, with nearly half of data center capacity devoted to training and inference.
