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.
