Ocasio-Cortez secures a DOE study on AI data centers' impact on electricity costs and potential consumer protections.
Quiver AI Summary
The FY 26 Energy and Water Appropriations Act, recently passed by the House, includes a study requested by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the impact of AI data centers on consumer electric bills. Ocasio-Cortez expressed concern about rising electric costs and aims to explore measures to alleviate these burdens on Americans.
Data centers, particularly those powering AI and cryptocurrency technologies, are projected to drive significant increases in electricity demand. A study estimates that they could constitute 44% of new U.S. electricity demand by 2028, necessitating costly upgrades to the electrical grid.
The appropriations bill emphasizes potential solutions, such as demand response and load flexibility programs, which could help ease electricity consumption during peak demand periods and mitigate risks of blackouts, according to the release.
