AI is Fast Becoming One of the Grid's Biggest Customers

According to the IEA’s April 2025 Energy and AI report, global data center electricity demand is set to double by 2030 with more and more tech companies rapidly signing up for 24/7 CFE. Yet, U.S. transmission expansion is projected to reach only 15% of what’s needed. That leaves a 40% gap between forecasted and planned grid capacity.
