Hyperscale Data Centers Projected to Drive Massive Grid Power Surge Through 2030

New research indicates hyperscale data centers will dramatically increase grid electricity consumption, with projections showing nearly triple the current demand by 2030. The surge is primarily driven by massive investments in AI infrastructure and machine learning capabilities requiring specialized power-hungry hardware.

Data Center Electricity Demand Set for Unprecedented Growth

Hyperscale data centers in the United States are projected to consume 22 percent more grid power by the end of 2025 compared to current levels, according to recent analysis from 451 Research, which is now part of S&P Global. The research suggests this represents just the beginning of a much larger trend, with electricity requirements potentially nearly tripling by the end of the decade.
