U.S. Utility Bills Jump 5.5%, Natural Gas Up 13.8% — 57 Million Americans Face Higher Rates in 2025
The Department of Energy has said the U.S. must expand transmission lines by 60 percent by 2030. By 2050, transmission may even need to triple. “If we can get a lot of transmission built, then I think we can meet the AI-driven data center demands,” Gramlich noted.
AI data centers consume far more power than traditional centers. Norman Bashir, an MIT researcher, said an AI center can use up to 10 times more energy than a standard one.
Tariffs and equipment shortages add more costs. Gas turbines are in short supply, delaying new plants. “The price of an actual turbine has almost tripled,” Gramlich explained. Wait times can now stretch seven years, S&P Global reported.
The U.S. energy mix has shifted over the past decade. Natural gas, solar, wind, and hydropower make up more of the grid, while coal is in decline. Nuclear expansion is not expected before 2030.
