How the AI Boom Could Raise Emissions and Electricity Prices

A Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas working paper finds that data centers are reversing two decades of flat U.S. electricity demand, with existing facilities already raising modeled wholesale power prices by 2% to 6% nationwide and much more in major data center hubs. It also projects that if proposed build-outs proceed under high-utilization scenarios, wholesale electricity prices could rise by about 50% by 2028, with slower wind and solar expansion making those effects even larger.
