About the event:
The growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers is reshaping the energy landscape. While these technologies offer numerous benefits, their electricity demands are substantial. A December 2024 report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that data centers consumed about 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023 and are expected to consume approximately 6.7 to 12% of total U.S. electricity by 2028.
