Data Center Power Demand

  • Data center server energy use grows across the commercial building stock

    In the Annual Energy Outlook 2026 (AEO2026), our long-term outlook, we project electricity consumed by data center servers will increase across the commercial building stock, increasing more in standalone data centers than in all other data center rooms combined. By 2050, server consumption alone reaches between 446 billion kilowatthours (BkWh) and 818 billion BkWh. The high...

  • Commercial electricity sales have soared in Virginia, driven by data centers
