According to the Department of Energy, U.S. electricity demand is forecasted to increase by 15.8% by 2029 due to data center expansions, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, domestic manufacturing growth, and electrification of different sectors including transportation. As states around the nation respond, the National Council on Electricity Policy’s load growth webinar series helps its member state agencies work together to identify the benefits and costs of these expected loads, share examples of tools and strategies for managing risks and balancing speed and engagement, and look for opportunities to improve state agency processes around load growth.
