Warnings of Power Outages Due to Rising AI Demand

Calvin Butler, CEO of Exelon, warned of potential power outages in the U.S. starting in 2027 due to insufficient energy supplies. He noted that some areas were close to cutting power during last winter, highlighting the growing energy crisis. The U.S. power grid faces increasing pressure as electricity demand is expected to rise by 39% by 2035, driven by the expansion of data centers and AI. The regional grid operator PJM anticipates a 60-gigawatt shortfall in energy supplies over the next decade.
