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.

Hybrid Hydrogen and Battery Backup Brings Data Centers Closer to Clean Power

Researchers designed and optimized a grid-connected hybrid energy storage system that combines solar PV, batteries, and hydrogen technologies to power a data center in Nantes, France. The simulation-based study found that a 5 kW electrolyzer, 2 kW fuel cell, 200 L hydrogen tank, and 50 kWh battery could achieve about 95% self-sufficiency with major carbon savings, though at a higher cost than grid electricity.

Why Canada’s AI Infrastructure Boom Could Carry A Heavy Carbon Cost

Researchers mapped Canada’s fast-growing data centre pipeline and found that planned capacity is nearly ten times larger than the current operational base, with new projects far bigger and increasingly concentrated in Alberta. They argue that this AI-linked expansion is reshaping electricity demand, land use, and investment patterns while raising concerns about emissions, water risk, regulation, and data sovereignty.
