#electricitydemand — Public Fediverse posts

The rapid growth of #datacentres, driven by #AI, is significantly increasing #electricitydemand in the #PJM Interconnection region. This surge in demand is straining the grid and causing #capacityprices to soar, with the #costs being #socialised across all ratepayers, including #households and #smallbusinesses. While utilities claim ratepayers won’t bear the brunt of these costs, evidence suggests otherwise, with potential rate hikes of up to 60% looming. https://fortune.com/2026/07/24/why-youre-paying-for-data-center-electricity-power/?eicker.news #tech #news
