Brief

John Bistline highlighted a dashboard tracking data-center electricity demand, stating that data centers account for 4-5% of U.S. electricity today and could reach 9-17% by 2030. The main value of the tool is its state-by-state breakdown, which shows how unevenly those projections are distributed and makes the data downloadable for further analysis.

A dashboard? Well done.

John Bistline (@JEBistline)

Data centers: 4-5% of U.S. electricity today. By 2030: 9-17%.

Those projections vary wildly by state. We built a dashboard so you can see your state's numbers and download the data.
